Abstract
Several authors have indicated that convective overshooting is very sm all for stars in the mass range of approximately 1.1-1.6 M(.), althoug h these authors insist that larger overshooting occurs in more massive stars. In this paper, it is indicated that this small extent of conve ctive core overshooting can be accounted for by using the non-local mi xing length theory in conjunction with the turbulent viscous dissipati on.
