Hi Murat,
First, your definition of u is ok if you stick to the letter y,
otherwise it is better to use y_. I also would change the second
derivative to D[T[x, y], {y, 2}] for better looks.
To solve your problem I'd suggest changing the last condition:
pe = 0.5;
u[y_] = 1 - y^2;
sol =
NDSolve[
{
pe*u[y]*D[T[x, y], x] == D[T[x, y], {y, 2}],
T[0, y] == Piecewise[{{-y, y <= -1}, {0, -1 < y < 1}, {1, 1 <=
y}}],
T[x, 1] == 1,
T[x, -1] == 1
},
T[x, y], {x, 0, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
SolveDelayed -> True
]
g[x_, y_] = (T[x, y] /. sol[[1, 1]])
Animate[Plot[g[x, y], {y, -1, 1}, PlotRange -> {0, 1}], {x, 0, 1}]
