We investigate the weakness of the present turbulence model with the nonlocal treatment of dissipation rate. A revised version is well tested for the solar convection. The suggestion of constant mixing length parameter of MLT could not hold any more if we refer to the nonlocal description of the dissipation rate, especially in the region of overshooting zone.
