Following Schatzman and Maeder (1981) we compute the evolution of the sun with partial mixing by hydrodynamic instabilities. Instead of simply assuming a turbulent diffusion coefficient which is a constant multiple of the viscosity, we incorporate some of the properties of hydrodynamic instabilities. This puts limits on the amount of diffusion that can be obtained, and makes it dependent on time and position in the star.
