The authors' main claim For compressed water, the comparison of the simulation results to the experimental data establishes that the TIP4P/Ew model performs best among the 7 models considered here, and captures the experimental trends for the dependence of entropy and molar Gibbs free energy on pressure.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
We use molecular simulation to compute the thermodynamic properties of 7 rigid models for water (SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, TIP4P/Ew, TIP5P, OPC) over a wide range of temperature and pressure. Carrying out Expanded Wang-Landau simulations, we obtain a high accuracy estimate for the grand-canonical partition function which, in turn, provides access to all properties, including the free energy and entropy, both at the vapor-liquid coexistence and for compressed water. The results at coexistence highlight the close connection between the behavior of the statistical functions and the thermodynamic properties. They show that the subgroup (SPC/E,TIP4P/2005,TIP4P/Ew) provides the most accurate account of the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties. For compressed water, the comparison of the simulation results to the experimental data establishes that the TIP4P/Ew model performs best among the 7 models considered here, and captures the experimental trends for the dependence of entropy and molar Gibbs free energy on pressure.

We use molecular simulation to compute the thermodynamic properties of 7 rigid models for water (SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, TIP4P/Ew, TIP5P, OPC) over a wide range of temperature and pressure. Carrying out Expanded Wang-Landau simulations, we obtain a high accuracy estimate for the grand-canonical partition function which, in turn, provides access to all properties, including the free energy and entropy, both at the vapor-liquid coexistence and for compressed water. The results at coexistence highlight the close connection between the behavior of the statistical functions and the thermodynamic properties. They show that the subgroup (SPC/E,TIP4P/2005,TIP4P/Ew) provides the most accurate account of the vapor-liquid equilibrium properties. For compressed water, the comparison of the simulation results to the experimental data establishes that the TIP4P/Ew model performs best among the 7 models considered here, and captures the experimental trends for the dependence of entropy and molar Gibbs free energy on pressure.
