In continuation of our earlier studies (Singh, Roxburgh & Chan 1997a,b; hereafter SRC97a,b) we perform some further tests to study the general behaviour of penetrative convection and its scaling with rms vertical velocity by varying a number of input parameters like the aspect ratio and the positioning of the interface between the unstable-lower stable layer.
