so that the average convective velocity can be calculated  \begin{displaymath}  \bar{v} = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} \lambda \, \bigg(\frac{g\, Q}{\hp}\bigg)^{1/2} \, (\nabla - \nabla')^{1/2}\\  = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} g \, \lambda \bigg(\frac{\rho\, Q }{\P}\bigg)^{1/2} \, (\nabla - \nabla')^{1/2} \nabla')^{1/2}.  \end{displaymath} Mixing length convective velocities depend linearly in the choice of the mixing length parameter $\lambda$.  Also they depend on $Q^{1/2}$, which diverges for $\beta \arrow 0$, that is in radiation dominated regions.
