Abstract
One of the most difficult tasks facing theoretical astrophysics today is to find a satisfactory model for the convective transport of energy in regions where the temperature gradient is superadiabatic. A number of such models have been proposed, such as the mixing-length theory and its extensions (Vitense 1953, Böhm-Vitense 1958, Spiegel 1963, Travis and Matsushima 1973 a, b, Parson 1969), to take into account the combined effects of convection and turbulence but it is generally agreed that, to-date, no satisfactory theory has been put forward.
