hi Carolina,

a few years ago we implemented the phase model of Jacobs and de Jong (2007)
in Aspect using a simple lookup table approach.
we used a compressible model and also computed the density gradient in the
continuity equation from the table.
you can probably find the sources in a previous release of ASPECT otherwise
i can send you my files.

best
Thomas
