Water models for the accurate reproduction of the properties of bulk water

Caption

Water models enable the simulation of the behavior of water molecules in a volume and the calculation of important micro- and macroscopic properties from the observed interactions. This study evaluated the shear viscosities of the water models OPC and OPC3 at different temperatures and found that they outperform other conventional models.
