This research explores how quantum corrections can improve the accuracy of simulations used to study the physical properties of liquid water. By comparing two widely used water models, the study identifies key limitations in classical simulations and evaluates correction methods to improve agreement with experimental data. The findings help refine computational models, leading to better predictions of water’s behaviour under different conditions. This research benefits fields such as material science and climate modelling, where understanding water’s properties is essential for accurate simulations of natural and industrial processes.
