Abstract
Different schemes for the treatment of long-ranged electrostatic interactions will be examined for water simulations using the polarizable fluctuating charge potential. Several different methods are compared, including Ewald sums, potential shifting, spherical truncation and reaction field corrections. For liquid water, properties such as the energy, pressure, dynamics and structure are more sensitive to the treatment of the long-ranged interactions with polarizable than with non-polarizable potentials.
