The movie on the top shows a molecular dynamics simulation
of dilute H3O+ ions
in bulk water at 1 atm and 300 K with a non-reactive potential that allows strictly for vehicular diffusion.
The movie on the bottom shows a molecular dynamics simulation of dilute H3O+ ions
in bulk water at 1 atm and 300 K with a reactive potential that allows for both vehicular and structural diffusion.
The motion of the hydroniums is much greater when structural diffusion is incorporated.
