Abstract£ºEquilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations were carried out in this study to investigate the condensation processes of water. By using characteristic time method£¬ the condensation coefficients for five different types of potential models (SPC£¬ SPCE£¬ TIP3P£¬ TIP4P and TIP5P) were obtained at different temperatures. The results show that the condensation coefficient decreases with the increase of the temperature. When the temperature is higher than 400 K£¬at the same temperature the descending order of the condensation coefficients for different models is SPCE£¬TIP4P£¬TIP3P£¬SPC and TIP5P ,while the difference between the coefficients of TIP4P and TIP3P is tiny. However£¬ when the temperature is lower than 400 K£¬there are no remarkable differences between the coefficients of the five models at the same temperature. Moreover, the TIP5P can not form the liquidª²vapor coexistent region at high temperatures (approximately higher than 520 K)£¬thus the statistic determination for the condensation coefficients fails.
