T1 - Physics of massive stars relevant for the modeling of Wolf-Rayet populations JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - Key physical ingredients governing the evolution of massive stars are mass losses, convection and mixing in radiative zones. These effects are important both in the frame of single and close binary evolution. The present paper addresses two points: 1) the differences between two families of rotating models, i.e. the family of models computed with and without an efficient transport of angular momentum in radiative zones; 2) The impact of the mass losses in single and in close binary models.
