This paper focuses on deriving the local variant of the singular boundary method (SBM) to solve the convection-diffusion equation. Adopting the combination of an SBM and finite collocation, one obtains the localized variant of SBM. Unlike the global variant, local SBM leads to a sparse matrix of the resulting system of equations, making it much more efficient to solve large-scale tasks. It also allows solving velocity vector variable tasks, which is a problem with global SBM. The article presents the steady numerical example for the convection-diffusion problem with variable velocity field and examines the dependence of the accuracy of the solution on the nodal grid's density and the subdomain's size.
