A classical polarizable model for simulations of water and ice.

We develop a classical rigid polarizable model of water for molecular simulations of water and ice. The model uses the Rowlinson five-site geometry: oxygen bearing the Lennard-Jones interaction and linearly polarizable point dipole, two positively charged hydrogens, and two massless negative charges placed symmetrically off oxygen so that the experimental dipole moment is reproduced. The target properties are the densities of water and ice Ih, diffusivity, enthalpies of fusion and vaporization, and the ice Ih melting point. The surface tension at lower temperatures is by 7% underestimated whereas the dielectric constant by 6% overestimated. Diffusivity and viscosity worsen at higher temperatures, although the Stokes radius is overestimated only by 2-7%. The ice Ih melting temperature is 260 K and the temperature of maximum density is 269 K. Rescaling the charges by a factor of 1.01 and Lennard-Jones energy by 1.0201 improves the melting point and energy-related quantities but shifts the agreement of kinetic properties to higher temperatures. For the model we propose abbreviation POL4D.
