Effects of uniform flow on a two-dimensional mesoscale horizontal convection were investigated by using the vorticity and thermodynamic equations. For this purpose, We simulated properties of a thermal convection in a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid caused by partial heating at the center of a lower boundary. If we don`t consider effects of the uniform flow, the convection takes the form of axisymmetric with respect to the z-axis. But when uniform flow is strong, velocity field and temperature field consist of a single cell structure which spreads upstream side of the partial heating area. The flow pattern for strong uniform flows takes the form of positive temperature near the ground and negative temperature perturbation aloft over the partial heating area, and downward motion directly over the upwind portion of the partial heating area and upward motion on the downstream side. The downstream edge of the upstream cell is shifted in the downstream direction with the increase of uniform flow almost linearly.

This study is concerned with properties of a thermal convection in a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid caused by partial heating at the lower boundary. For this purpose, two-dimensional, nonrotating system was employed. If the heating is very strong, convection takes the form of a turbulent plume. Otherwise, remains laminar. If the partial heating at the bottom boundary is symmetric, the convection takes the form of axisymmetric with respect to the z-axis. but heating form is not so significant as to alter the main features of the horizontal convection. The convective motion consists of two-cell with the convergence in the lower layer at the center of the partial heating area. The temperature perturbation is characterized by the temperature `Cross-Over` over the partial heating area. These features are cleared according to the increase of temperature difference between the center and side part of the bottom boundary.
