This study delves into the intricate interplay between rotational mixing and rotational hydrostatic effects in pre-main-sequence (PMS) and main-sequence (MS) solar-type stars by employing grids of rotating models. We implement a novel approach in which both the magnetic field strength (B) and the mixing-length parameter (\u03b1MLT) vary dynamically with stellar parameters, following prescriptions based on dynamo theory and 3D atmosphere calibrations. This avoids fixed values and aims to reduce free parameters while capturing key physical variability. Our models reproduce the observed Li abundance of Sun-like stars (A(Li) \u2248 1.12 dex) consistent with the present-day solar value (1.1 \u00b1 0.1 dex) and yield qualitatively consistent rotational spin-down trends across PMS and MS phases. However, at the solar age (4.57\u00a0Gyr), the same models over-predict the equatorial rotation rate (v \u2248 4.72 kms\u22121 vs. 2.0 kms\u22121) and the mean surface magnetic field (B \u2248 36.9\u00a0G vs. 1\u00a0G). These discrepancies reflect the omission of additional angular momentum loss mechanisms\u2014such as disk locking and internal magnetic coupling\u2014and possible oversimplifications in magnetic saturation physics. While the adaptive \u03b1MLT converges to the solar-calibrated value ([1.76, 1.78]) at the present age, its variability during earlier phases significantly influences Li depletion. To validate our models, we compare predictions with observational data from 64 open clusters obtained through the Gaia-ESO Survey (GES), sampling a wide range of ages. The results demonstrate that incorporating time-dependent B and \u03b1MLT improves Li predictions and captures rotational evolution trends, but cannot yet reproduce the present-day solar rotation and magnetic flux without additional physics. We discuss these limitations and outline future work to integrate disk locking and internal angular momentum transport for a more complete model of solar-type stars.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mnras\/stag524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]],"date-time":"2026-03-17T15:22:52Z","timestamp":1773760972000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Variable magnetic field and adaptive mixing-length: reproducing Li abundances and constraining rotational evolution of solar-type stars in clusters"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"R Caballero","family":"Navarro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Granada (UGR) Department Theoretical Physics and Cosmology, , 18071 Granada ,","place":["Spain"]}]},{"given":"A Garc\u00eda","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Granada (UGR) Department Theoretical Physics and Cosmology, , 18071 Granada ,","place":["Spain"]}]},{"given":"J C","family":"Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Granada (UGR) Department Theoretical Physics and Cosmology, , 18071 Granada ,","place":["Spain"]}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]]},"container-title":["Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/mnras\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/mnras\/stag524\/67382374\/stag524.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/mnras\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/mnras\/stag524\/67382374\/stag524.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]],"date-time":"2026-03-17T15:22:52Z","timestamp":1773760972000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/mnras\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/mnras\/stag524\/8526389"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/mnras\/stag524","relation":{},"ISSN":["0035-8711","1365-2966"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0035-8711","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-2966","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]]},"article-number":"stag524"}}
