This research program represents a continuation of the                          collaborative effort between F.J. Spera and D. A. Yuen in                       studying the dynamical evolution and physical properties of                     crustal magma bodies by means of state-of-the-art numerical                     techniques on supercomputers.  It will focus on two themes: (1)                 To continue the study of double-diffusive convection, which                     represents a unique feature of magma chamber fluid dynamics. (2)                To initiate a new computational program in the determination of                 nonequilibrium transport properties of silicate melts from                      molecular dynamics.  The goal is to obtain some basic                           understanding of the effects of pressure and shear-rate on the                  viscosity and diffusion coefficients of magmatic substances.                    These research areas will contribute to our understanding of the                physics of melts and the dynamics of magma transport.
