We have done a 2D simulation of meridional circulation in the presence of helium diffusion below stellar convective zones. For slowly rotating stars the microscopic diffusion of helium leads to a μ-gradient which has an important effect on the rotation induced mixing. We present here the results of this 2D simulation for solar type stars.
