Abstract
The papers deal with various aspects of stellar convection theory ranging from mixing-length formalisms to computations based on full equations. The major subjects encompass mixing-length theory, linear theory, observational aspects of convection, numerical solutions to stellar-convection problems, effects of rotation and magnetic fields, penetration of convection, special types of convection, waves, and turbulence. Specific topics include the current state of mixing-length theory, dynamical instabilities in stars, observations bearing on convection, the evolutionary pattern of exploding granules, numerical methods in convection theory, convection in rotating stars, and convective dynamos. Other contributions examine penetrative convection in stars, convective overshooting in the solar photosphere, thermosolutal convection, Urca convection, photoconvection, convection in the helium flash, and the roles of determinism and chaos in turbulence.
