DESCRIPTION:The equations of two-phase-flow arise from statements of conse
 rvation of  mass\, momentum\, and energy. In addition to the conservation 
 laws\, a series of  phenomenological laws must be prescribed to describe t
 he interaction between the  two phases. It is the choice of these phenomen
 ological laws that makes  two-phase-flow theory challenging. <br> <span><b
 r>In this presentation I will outline the choices of phenomenological laws
  that  have been used thus far in magma dynamics\, and their physical cons
 equences. I  will give an overview of the basic physics of compaction\, an
 d the important role  of the compaction length\, the natural length-scale 
 in compaction problems. I  will highlight which areas of the theory seem r
 obust\, and which are in need of  further development.</span>
