Methods developed to numerically simulate hydrodynamic waves in the terrestrial atmosphere have been utilized to investigate the similar phenomena in the solar interior. The spectral collocation method with open horizontal boundaries used is well suited for solar type studies. The current study is the start of a program to investigate the degree of penetration of gravity waves through the solar convection zone and to investigate the possible excitation of gravity waves in the solar interior by convection. The preliminary results indicate that a significant fraction of the wave energy in a gravity type wave in the convectively stable region in the solar interior may tunnel through the solar convective zone to the surface. For a wave with a horizontal extent equivalent to a global mode with degree l about 15 - 16 the energy transmission is of the order of 0.02 percent in the current model.
