The atomistic structure and dynamics obtained from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with the example of TIP3P (rigid and flexible) and TIP4P/2005 (rigid) water is compared to neutron and X-ray scattering data at ambient conditions. Neutron and X-ray diffractograms are calculated from the simulations for four isotopic substitutions as well as the incoherent intermediate scattering function for neutrons. The resulting curves are compared to each other and to published experimental data. Differences between simulated and measured intermediate scattering functions are quantified by fitting an analytic model to the computed values. The sensitivity of the scattering curves to the parameters of the MD simulations is demonstrated on the example of two parameters, bond length and angle.
