A superficial flow about 20m/s is observed in all latitudes, but the way how the counter flow happens is until now unknown. We assume a simple convection cell by meridional quadrant thus: (Haber et al., 1998) (7) (8)

TWO IMPORTANT MODELS Dikpati & Charbonneau, 1999, ApJ, 518, 508. –Solar like differential rotation. –Non local source formulation. Nandy & Choudhuri, 2002, Science,296, –Deep Meridional Flow. –Numerical formulation of the source term.

CONCLUSIONS 1.If the meridional flow is confined to the convective zone, the sunspots are mainly concentrated near the poles. 2.If the flow is allowed to penetrate deeper down 0.61R, the model gives a better result since a branch of maximum toroidal field is produced at low latitudes in agreement with the observations. However, in this case another branch also appears near the poles which is inconsistent with the observed butterfly diagrams. 3.If we consider a prolate differential rotation there is a lager concentration of the toroidal field towards the equator in better agreement with the observations. 4.Both the global behavior of the circulation and the physical mechanism behind it need further revisions.
