TLDR
In this paper, the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid-vapor interface of water were studied and the density profile of the interfacial transition region between liquid and vapor is monotone with a 10% to 90% width of 3.45 A, in good agreement with the value determined from x-ray reflectance measurements, namely 3.30 A.Abstract:
We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid–vapor interface of water. Two different water–water interactions were studied. The density profile of the interfacial transition region between liquid and vapor is monotone with a 10%–90% width of 3.45 A, in good agreement with the value determined from x‐ray reflectance measurements, namely 3.30 A. The water molecules in the interface tend to lie with the HOH bisector in the plane of the surface and one OH bond pointing out of the surface. As the density falls in the transition region the tetrahedral structure of the bulk liquid breaks up and there is a tendency towards dimerization. The diffusion constant in the interfacial region is 58% larger than that in the bulk region.read more

ζ Potential of Microbubbles in Aqueous Solutions: Electrical Properties of the Gas−Water Interface
TL;DR: The zeta potential of microbubbles in aqueous solutions revealed that the bubbles were negatively charged under a wide range of pH conditions, and the inorganic electrolytes decrease the potential by increasing the amount of counterions within the slipping plane.

Rattle: A “velocity” version of the shake algorithm for molecular dynamics calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm, called RATTLE, for integrating the equations of motion in molecular dynamics calculations for molecular models with internal constraints is presented. But it is based on the Verlet algorithm and retains the simplicity of using Cartesian coordinates for each of the atoms to describe the configuration of a molecule with internal constraint.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.
