The analytical solution of the one-dimensional diffusion-convection equation in a cylinder has been found, for various functional forms of the diffusion coefficient, convection velocity and with an additional damping term. This is a significant generalization of a previous work [A. Clemencon, C. Guivarch, S. P. Eury, X. L. Zou, and G. Giruzzi, Phys. Plasmas 11, 4998 (2004)] on the diffusion equation, including now a convection term that can be constant, monomially increasing in the space coordinate, or have step-like variations. This type of equation has important applications in the field of magnetically confined plasmas, in which convection effects are experimentally observed in both particle and energy transports. Sharp variations of heat diffusivity, convection velocity, and damping term can result from the microturbulence which develops whenever the temperature gradient exceeds a critical value. A general scheme is developed to connect solutions in domains with different functional forms of the coeff...
