We present an accurate equation of state for water based on a simple microscopic Hamiltonian, with only four parameters that are well-constrained by bulk experimental data. With one additional parameter for the range of interaction, this model yields a computationally efficient free-energy functional for inhomogeneous water, which captures short-ranged correlations, cavitation energies, and, with suitable long-range corrections, the nonlinear dielectric response of water, making it an excellent candidate for the studies of mesoscale water and for use in ab initio solvation methods.

An implementation of this free energy functional in d = 3 dimensions is available in the open source plane-wave electronic density functional theory software, JDFTx,42 and supports efficient orientation quadratures based on platonic solid rotation groups and spherical t-designs,43 in addition to outer product quadratures on Euler angles.

The results obtained at a subdivision depth of 3 (642 quadrature nodes) are within 0.1% of those at depth 4 (2562 nodes), and we used the latter for generating all the plots in the paper.
