DESCRIPTION:The equations of two-phase-flow arise from stateme
nts of conservation of mass\, momentum\, and ener
gy. In addition to the conservation laws\, a serie
s of phenomenological laws must be prescribed to
describe the interaction between the two phases.
It is the choice of these phenomenological laws th
at makes two-phase-flow theory challenging.
In this presentation I will outline the
choices of phenomenological laws that have been u
sed thus far in magma dynamics\, and their physica
l consequences. I will give an overview of the ba
sic physics of compaction\, and the important role
of the compaction length\, the natural length-sc
ale in compaction problems. I will highlight whic
h areas of the theory seem robust\, and which are
in need of further development.
