Scientific paper

The boundary convection zones of hot helium white-dwarf stars with electron temperatures in the range of 17,000-30,000 K are studied. An anisotropic mixing-length theory which determines the mixing-length parameter locally is applied for the convection zones calculation. Comparing with the calculations by using the mixing-length theory, it is found that maximum velocity decreases appreciably, and the other boundary conditions are affected.
