Thanks to numerous and accurate radial velocity measurements obtained with CORAVEL, the rotational velocity fields, the spatial velocity dispersions from the centre to the edge and the ordered to random motions ratios are deduced for two globular clusters: ω Cen and 47 Tuc. Masses through virial theorem and M/L ratios are also given. A more comprehensive study will be published in Astron. & Astrophys.
