In the paper King [8], a new class of source solutions was derived for the nonlinear diffusion equation for diffusivities of the form D(c) = D0cm/(l - vc)m+2. Here we extend this method for the nonlinear diffusion and convection equation

to obtain mass-conserving source solutions for a nonlinear conductivity function K(c) = K0cm+2/(l - vc)m+1. In particular we consider the cases m = -1,0, and 1, where fully analytical solutions are available. Furthermore we provide source solutions for the exponential forms of the diffusivity and conductivity as given by D(c) = D0c−2e−n/c and K(c) = K0ce−n/c.
