Convection in rotating stars

The influence of rotation on convection in stellar interiors is discussed. It is shown that the character of convective motions can be affected in relatively slowly rotating stars. Although the transport of energy by convection is anisotropic, the requirement that the divergence of total energy flux vanishes means that meridional circulation currents will be set up. These will mix the material of a convective core in a time which is not much different from the time taken by convection in the absence of rotation.
