Temperature profile of the outermost layers of a 110 M⊙ star computed with the mixing length parameter, αMLT = 5.46. Similar to Fig. 3, a density inversion can be seen in panel (c). However, higher convective velocity (panel f) and smaller superadiabaticity (panel g) resulting from the higher value of αMLT helps to keep the specific entropy small (panel d) and time steps large enough to evolve the model without numerical instabilities.
