Energy transport by turbulent convection is studied in both astrophysics and geophysics. We briefly outline the physics of convection as well as the differences between astrophysical and geophysical turbulent convective flows. The case of convection in stars including our sun is described in more detail. Reynolds stress models have been suggested for quantitative predictions for both stellar and geophysical convection. One of the main problems of such models is how to account for the influence of the observed large scale coherent structures. We discuss a possible solution which has first been suggested for the convective planetary boundary layer and show how it performs when applied to convection in our sun.
