The dynamical shear instability is an important mixing process in the advanced stages of the evolution of massive stars. We calculated different models of 15 M⊙ with an initial rotational velocity, v ini = 300 km/s to investigate its efficiency. We found that the dynamical shear instability has a timescale shorter than oxygen burning timescale and that it slightly enlarges the convective zones and smoothens the omega gradients throughout the evolution. However, its effect is too localized to slow down the core of the star.
