We present 3-D hydrodynamical simulations of the extended turbulent convective envelope of a low-mass red giant star. These simulations, computed with the ASH code, aim at understanding the redistribution of angular momentum and heat in extended turbulent convection zones of these giant stars. We focus our study on the effects of turbulence and of the rotation rate on the convective patterns and on the distribution of angular momentum within the inner 50% of the convective envelope of such stars.
