In this review, I discuss physical mechanisms leading to momentum and chemical transport in stars. Various instabilities leading to turbulence are discussed. I then present a self-consistent description of rotational mixing under the action of turbulence and meridional circulation in 1D models. Limitations of the model are discussed, both in terms of an extra mechanism for momentum transport in the Sun and solar-type stars (magnetic field and/or gravity waves) and in terms of our understanding of turbulent properties.
