Hi;
First of all, thanks for all the replies.
What I was trying to do is solve the equation with u(x,y)=1
on one boundary and gradient (heat flux du/dy=-1) on
the other boundary. For the dirichlet type the following works
fine (along with your notation suggestions), as well as your suggestion:
n1 = 1;
n2 = 1;
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] == UnitStep[-y - 1]*n1 + UnitStep[y - 1]*n2,
T[x, 1] == n2,
T[x, -1] == n1},
T, {x, 0, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, SolveDelayed -> True];
But I could not do it for the flux case and frankly was wondering if there
is a trick for it. I know that the initial condition is not continuous but
it's the way it is. But thanks for suggestions anyway.
Cheers.

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}]
Cheers -- Sjoerd
