Abstract

We show that two-dimensional convection-diffusion problems with a radial sink or source at the origin may be recast as a pure diffusion problem in a fictitious space in which the spatial dimension is continuously-tunable with the Peclet number. This formulation allows us to probe various diffusion-controlled processes in non-integer dimensions.
