We examine the effect of rotation on turbulent compressible penetrating convection, motivated by the dynamics of the solar interior. We find that rotation can influence large-scale coherent structures in the turbulent flow whilst leaving the small-scales isotropic. The dynamics in this case are very different from more laminar situations where all scales are rotationally-influenced. This may hint as to why full models of the global solar differential rotation are difficult.
