Description
The meridional flow is a key ingredient in the currently most favored model of the
solar activity cycle, the flux transport dynamo. One major uncertainty in this model
is the subsurface flow pattern, which is not yet sufficiently constrained by
observations. We discuss the flows predicted by the mean field theory of stellar
differential rotation for the Sun, lower main sequence stars, and giants.
