We build a 2D model of the radiative envelope of main sequence massive stars. We set a dynamical boundary condition at the bottom of the radiative envelope at η = rC/R (where rC is the core size and R the radius of the star) to account for the differential rotation of the convective core as computed in 3D simulations (e.g. Browning et al. (2004, IAUS, 224, 149). We seek the differential rotation and associated meridional circulation induced by such a shear competing with the baroclinic flow of the stably stratified radiative envelope using the Boussinesq approximation.
