A multiscale finite element method is proposed for addressing a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion model. In reference to the a priori estimate of the boundary layer location, we provide a graded recursion for the mesh adaption. On this mesh, the multiscale basis functions are able to capture the microscopic boundary layers effectively. Then with a global reduction, the multiscale functional space may efficiently reflect the macroscopic essence. The error estimate for the adaptive multiscale strategy is presented, and a high-order convergence is proved. Numerical results validate the robustness of this novel multiscale simulation for singular perturbation with small parameters, as a consequence, high accuracy and uniform superconvergence are obtained through computational reductions.
