Hydrothermal areas are more located in the mid-ocean backs of the world. These high-temperature fields have been considered as an alternative to future energy sources, as well as the mineral accumulations they generate have been the subject of many research due to the habitat that is formed in their surroundings. The most important factors that play a role in the formation of hydrothermal fields can be the presence and depth of the heat source, the benefits/breaks responsible for the distribution in the ground of the fluid and the topography of the sea base. This study has been tested and discussed with various models of how the shift of the seafood topography changes the output place and temperature of the hydrothermal area. The temperature and flow modeling is performed with the ANSYS Fluent program based on the final volumes method. Then, the temperature distribution in the Lucky Strike hydrothermal area discovered in the back of the Central Atlantic Ocean was solved depending on time. Numerical models show that the output point of the hydrothermal fields progressed to the top of the batimetric rise over time and eventually got a stable state. During this time, the time passed after the start of the position of change and the time required for the completion of the migration without achieving a fixed position depends on the height and width of the predicated batimetric height. The models we obtained for the Lucky Strike area show that the hydrothermal area is formed directly above the Lucky Strike volcano. This is in line with the observation work in the area.
