Abstract

After briefly describing the anelastic approximation and Glatzmaier's code, we present results from our preliminary studies of core convection during the hydrogen burning phase of a 15 solar mass star, as well as our most recent results concerning convection in the oxygen shell of a 25 solar mass star.
