# Difference between revisions of "TIP4P model of water"

The TIP4P model [1] is a rigid planar four-site interaction potential for water, having a similar geometry to the Bernal and Fowler model, which was proposed in 1933.

## Parameters

The TIP4P model consists of a Lennard-Jones site for the oxygen atom, and three charge sites.

## Phase diagram

The following is the phase diagram of the TIP4P model in the pressure-temperature plane (adapted from Fig. 11 of [2]).

### Plastic crystal phases

Recent simulations have demonstrated the existence of plastic crystal phases for the TIP4P model [2].

### Melting point

The melting point ice Ih-water at 1 bar is $232(4)~K$[3].

## Shear viscosity

The shear viscosity for the TIP4P model is 0.494 mPa.s at 298 K and 1 bar [4] (experimental value 0.896 mPa.s [5]).

## Virial coefficients

The second virial coefficient has been calculated by Chialvo et al [6].

The following is a list of empirical models that build upon this TIP4P model:
