Abstract

Present knowledge on penetration and overshooting from stellar envelopes is reviewed and current assumptions are checked against laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. Emphasis is laid on quasi-adiabatic envelopes and, more precisely, on solar-type stars. Overshooting from the core is explicitly avoided.[/p]
