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.
