Water simulation

Owing to its important role in life, water is a natural choice for polarizable force field development. After the polarizable (and dissociable) water model of Stillinger and David, more than a dozen polarizable water models have been reported.  

Polarization water models are being extended and applied to other phases as well as to the interface between different phases. Rick et al. recently incorporated charge transfer into their polarizable water model that was then used to study ice/water coexistence properties and properties of the ice Ih phase. The POLS water modeP was used to study the ice-vapor interface and to calculate the melting point of ice Ih. Bauer and Patel used the TIP4P-QP model to study the liquid-vapor coexistence.

In Fig. 42.9 we show the simulation results obtained by Janse [8] for a municipal laboratory for the quality assurance of drinking water. Simulated delays are in good agreement with the real delays in the laboratory. Unfortunately, the development of this simulation model took several man years which is prohibitive for a widespread application. Therefore one needs a simulator (or empty shell) with predefined objects and rules by which a laboratory manager would be capable to develop a specific model of his laboratory. Ideally such a simulator should be linked to or be integrated with the laboratory information management system in order to extract directly the attribute values. 

One weakness of some multimedia models that must be considered by the user is inconsistency of time scales. For example, if we employ monthly averaged air concentrations to get rainout values on fifteen-minute interval inputs to a watershed model, large errors can obviously occur. The air-land-water-simulation (ALWAS) developed by Tucker and co-workers (12) overcomes this limitation by allowing for sequential air quality outputs to provide deposition data to drive a soil model. This in turn is coupled to a surface water model. 

Fig. 9.4. Pa (e) and (e) as a function of the binding energy. The simulations treated 216 water molecules, utilizing the SPC/E water model, and the Lennard-Jones parameters for methane were from [63]. The number density for both the systems is fixed at 0.03333 A 3, and T = 298 K established by velocity rescaling. These calculations used the NAMD program (www.ks.uiuc.edu/namd). After equilibration, the production run comprised 200 ps in the case of the pure water simulation and 500 ps in the case of the methane-water system. Configurations were saved every 0.5 ps for analysis...

The liquid-liquid extraction procedure was also subjected to an interlaboratory study by the ASTM Committee D-19. Two water matrices were used a purified water and a matrix water (a water simulating natural conditions). Bromoform, bromodichloromethane, chlorodibromomethane, chloroform, tetrachloroethylene, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane were studied. For the range 1.9-99 /xg/L, recoveries were from 90% to 120%. The relative standard deviation ranged from 10-27% at the lowest concentration to 3.8-8.0% at the highest concentration.

Epoxy is used as a lining for water reservoirs, water mains, and home plumbing systems (Heim and Dietrich, 2007a). These applications can impact sensory quality of tap water in food manufacturing, food service operations, and residential homes. This effect may be most noticeable in water but residual aroma and flavor compounds may cause a taint in foods prepared with these water sources. An odor assessment, using a water industry standard flavor profile analysis method, identified a strong relationship between water (simulated tap water, pH 7.7-7.9) stored in epoxy-lined copper pipes for 3-4 days and an odor described... 

The simulation results from both isomer 1 and isomer 2 show that the observed solvation dynamics around the Trp7 site can arise from strongly coupled neighboring water and protein relaxation. Judging by the time dependence of their separate contributions to the total response, the Stokes shift over tens of picoseconds can apparently result from either surface water or protein conformational relaxation for isomers 1 and 2, respectively. To elucidate the origin of these observed time scales, we performed frozen protein and frozen water simulations.

That electrostatic forces could be crucial to vibrational energy relaxation was amply demonstrated by the liquid water simulations of Whitnell et al. (34). They noted that since the electrostatic portion of the force between their solvent and a dipolar solute was linear in the solute dipole moment, Equations (12) and (13) implied that the electrostatic part of the friction ought to scale as the dipole moment squared. When they then found that their entire relaxation rate scaled with the square of the solute dipole moment, it certainly seemed to be convincing evidence that electrostatics forces were indeed the primary ingredients generating ultrafast relaxation. Subsequent theoretical work on relaxation rates in such manifestly protic solvents as water and alcohols has largely served to reinforce this message (37,38,60,61).

Finally, at least for the present, explicit-water simulations treat heavy-body motions by the laws of classical mechanics this is not always valid. 

Furthermore, the explicit-water simulations do include the CDS terms to the extent that dispersion and hydrogen bonding are well represented by the force field. Finally, by virtue of the solvent being explicitly part of the system, it is possible to derive many useful non-entropy-based properties "" (radial distribution functions, average numbers of hydrogen bonds, size and stability of the first solvation shell, time-dependent correlation functions, etc.). Since many of these properties are experimentally observable, it is often possible to identify and correct at least some deficiencies in the simulation. Simulation is thus an extremely powerful tool for studying solvation, especially when focused on the response of the solvent to the solute.

Three types of surface are in use for water simulations. The first consists of simple empirical models based on the LJ-C potential. There seems to be no purpose in continuing to develop and use such models as they give little, if any, new information. A second group attempts to improve the accuracy of the potential using semiempirical methods based on a comprehensive set of experimental data. These models allow for physical phenomena such as intramolecular relaxation, electrostatic induced terms, and many-body interactions, all of which are difficult to incorporate correctly in liquid water theories. There is room for much more work in these areas. The third group makes use of the most advanced ab initio methods to develop accurate potentials from first principles. Such calculations are now converging with parameterized surfaces based on accurate semiempirical models. Over the next few years it seems very likely that the continued application of the second and third approaches will result in a potential energy surface that achieves quantitative accuracy for water in the condensed phase.
