Abstract
In this lecture I present the way stars can be modeled in two dimensions and especially the fluid flows that are driven by rotation. I discuss some of the various ways of taking into account turbulence and conclude this contribution by a short presentation of some of the first results obtained with the ESTER code on the modeling of interferometrically observed fast rotating early-type stars.
