The constant pressure -simulations of the melting of both $I_h$ and $I_c$ ice showed a -density maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities -were significantly lower than the densities calculated in simulations -of other water models. Analysis of particle diffusion showed SSD to -capture the transport properties of experimental water well in both -the liquid and super-cooled liquid regimes. In order to correct the -density behavior, the original SSD model was reparameterized for use -both with and without a reaction field (SSD/RF and SSD/E), and -comparison simulations were performed with SSD1, the density corrected -version of SSD. Both models improve the liquid structure, density -values, and diffusive properties under their respective conditions, -indicating the necessity of reparameterization when altering the -long-range correction specifics. When taking into account the -appropriate considerations, these simple water models are excellent -choices for representing explicit water in large scale simulations of -biochemical systems. +The density maximum and temperature dependence of the self-diffusion +constant were studied for the SSD water model, both with and without +the use of reaction field, via a series of NPT and NVE +simulations.
