Abstract
In this note we discuss some preliminary results from our 3D numerical simulations of incompressible penetrative convection in the presence of rotation. Though these simulations pertain to a particular case of a deepening mixed layer with overshoot, we believe the results to have significance in the solar scenario. In particular, we conjecture that rotation has a constraining effect on convective overshoot.
