The transport of magnetic flux from the convection zone into the stably-stratified tachocline is a key component of the proposed interface scenario for the solar dynamo. In this paper we give a summary of the results from three-dimensional numerical experiments (detailed in Tobias et al. 2000) of pumping of magnetic flux by turbulent, penetrative convection. We also list how the efficiency of pumping depends on the parameters of the convection.
