Abstract
Internal waves and tidal interactions constitute powerful mechanisms for angular momentum exchanges in star-planet systems. In this lecture, we review the state of the art of their modelling and we discuss their impact on the evolution of stellar systems. In this context, we first show how internal waves are able to deeply modify the secular transport of angular momentum in stellar interiors in the whole Hertzsprung-Russelll diagram. Then, we show how tidal waves, as well as the related exchanges of angular momentum, strongly depend on the internal structure of stars and planets.
