New Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations of the structural and dynamical properties of liquid water are reported. The calculated radial distribution functions are in excellent agreement with most recent both x-ray and neutron diffraction scattering experiments. The simulated self-diffusion properties are also in good agreement with experimental data.
