Hi,

With[{\[ScriptCapitalD] = 1/8, v = 1/4},
  sol = NDSolve[{
     D[u[x, y, t],
       t] == \[ScriptCapitalD] (D[u[x, y, t], {x, 2}] +
          D[u[x, y, t], {y, 2}]) - v*D[u[x, y, t], x],
     u[-1, y, t] == 0, u[1, y, t] == 0,
     u[x, -1, t] == 0, u[x, 1, t] == 0,
     u[x, y, 0] == Piecewise[{{1, Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] <= 0.5}}, 0]},
    u[x, y, t], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {t, 0, 2}
    ]
  ]

may do that .. Ignore the warnings you get with the
statement above, the reason are the initial conditions
and you may have other.
