We investigate the liquid structure, ion hydration, and some thermodynamic properties associated with the rigid geometry approximation to water by applying ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional at T = 320 K. We vary the rigid water geometry in order to locate a class of practical water models that yield reasonable liquid structure and dynamics, and to examine the progression of AIMD-predicted water behavior as the OH bond length varies. Water constrained at the optimal PBE gas phase geometry yields reasonable pair correlation functions. The predicted liquid phase pressure, however, is large (similar to 8.0 kbar). Although the O-H bond in water should elongate when transferred from gas to the condensed phase, when it is constrained to 0.02, or even just 0.01 angstrom longer than the optimal gas phase value, liquid water is predicted to be substantially overstructured compared to experiments. Zero temperature calculations of the thermodynamic properties of cubic ice underscore the sensitivity toward small variations in the O-H bond length. We examine the hydration structures of potassium, chloride, and formate ions in one rigid PBE water model. The results are in reasonable agreement with unconstrained AIMD simulations.
