Abstract: The Toulouse Solar Models, which have been described in details in Richard et al. 1996 (hereafter RVCD96), are based on the Geneva stellar evolution code in which element segregation has been introduced for elements up to 26Mg. Mixing processes are described using an effective macroscopic diffusion coefficient which can be varied as a parameter. Mass loss can be introduced and its influence on the internal solar composition can be computed in details. RVCD96 have shown that the best solar model, including helioseismological constraints and lithium depletion, is obtained when element segregation is taken into account and when some mild mixing below the convection zone, presumably due to rotation-induced shears, is introduced. Here we present new results obtained with these models.
