With the discovery of new extrasolar planetary systems day after day, we have to understand the physical processes which are driving the dynamical evolution of such systems. We focus here on the tidal processes acting between stars and their giant fluid planets. We describe briefly our new theoretical results on the hydrodynamical tides (equilibrium and dynamical tides). In particular, we present the complete set of dynamical equations governing the tidal evolution which we have derived in a consistent way and for the most general case: eccentric orbits, non synchronized components, general inclination between the orbital spin and those of components.
