Purpose

Sets the convection flags LCZ used for rotation and mixing so that they include convective overshoot: it calls CONVEC, which finds the mixed zones with overshoot, and marks every shell in a mixed zone convective and every shell in a radiative zone not.

How it fits

  • Inputs: the model (HCOMP, HD, HP, HR, HS, HT), the Schwarzschild flags LC and M.
  • Who calls it: GETW, HPOINT, MIDMOD and STARIN.
  • What it calls: CONVEC (which in turn calls OVERSH).
  • Outputs: LCZ, and the zone lists MRZONE, MXZONE, NRZONE, NZONE. The edges JCORE, JENV and the zones without overshoot MXZON0 are local and dropped.

The method

The radiative zones are marked first, then the mixed zones (lines 24–34↗); a check I .GT. 0 guards LCZ(I) = .FALSE. (comment: "to avoid runtime error"). The check cannot fail: CONVEC gives every radiative region it counts a lower edge of at least 1 (convec.f, lines 183–205↗), and the loop counts up from it (settled from the code, Nov 9, 2026: lines 25–27↗). The out-of-range index is more likely CONVEC's bug 1 (convec.f, suspected bug 1), which leaves the top radiative region's upper edge stale, possibly beyond M (from an earlier call with more shells), which the check does not catch; the loop over MXZONE has no check either. That bug also makes the first loop mark shells 1 to M radiative, which is harmless here, since the second loop then marks the mixed zones.
