Abstract
To study the turbulent convection and the interaction with radiation around the highly super-adiabatic layer (SAL), the Eddington approximation has been employed for the treatment of radiation in the hydrodynamic simulations. The fully compressible hydrodynamics equations, and the equation of radiative transport with Eddington approximation, have been solved, utilizing the ADI technique. The simulation domain of our first test contains about four and a half pressure scale heights around the SAL.
