This research addresses the question regarding the potential               role played by equation of state in geodynamics.  The specific                  objectives of this research is to investigate the physics of                    compressible convection by including both variable viscosity and                variable thermodynamic parameters, such as thermal expansivity,                 for both cartesian and spherical-shell configurations.  The PI                  will study the feasibilities of placing bounds on the rheological               and thermodynamic parameter values in the deep mantle by                        constraining the results to fit the excess ellipticity of the                   core-mantle boundary, temperature at the core-mantle boundary, and              the thermal and viscosity profiles of the lower mantle.
