Abstrakt: Nucleation rates for droplet formation in water vapor are measured in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of SPC/E and TIP4P/2005 water by monitoring individual nucleation events. The nucleation process is simulated in the NPT ensemble to evaluate the steady-state nucleation rate in accordance with the assumptions of classical nucleation theory (CNT). Nucleation rates measured between 300 and 425 K for the SPC/E model, and between 325 and 475 K for the TIP4P/2005 model, agree with the CNT predictions roughly within the standard deviation of the MD measurements of the nucleation rates.
