The classical De Vahl Davis natural convection test can be extended to 3D. In below figures steady state temperature contour and velocity quiver plots for Ra$=10^6$ case in 3D are presented. A more quantitative analysis is done by comparing characteristic values, i.e. peak positions and values of cross section velocities, with data available in literature. We analyze six different cases, namely Ra$=10^6,10^7,10^8$ in 2D, and Ra$=10^4,10^5,10^6$ in 3D. The comparison in presented in below table.

All spatial operators are discretized using RBF-FD with $r^3$ PHS radial basis functions, augmented with monomials up to order $2$, with the closest $25$ nodes used as a stencil. For the time discretization time step $\Delta t=10^{-3}$ was used for all cases. Domain is discretized with our fill algoritm with Nodal distance $h=0.025$. Boundaries with Neumann boundary conditions are additionally treated with Ghost nodes (theory).
