Penetrative Convection in Partly Stratified Rapidly Rotating Spherical Shells

Many celestial objects are thought to host interfaces between convective and stable stratified interior regions. The interaction between both, e.g., the transfer of heat, mass, or angular momentum depends on whether and how flows penetrate into the stable layer. Powered from the unstable, convective...
