Most stars contain regions which are convectively unstable and one of the more daunting tasks facing astrophysics today is to find a satisfactory theoretical formulation of turbulent energy transport in stars. Various theories have been proposed, such as the mixing-length formalism and its extensions, and it would be most useful if one could test the accuracy of such models in view of their importance in the theory of stellar structure and evolution.
