The classical de Vahl Davis benchmark test is defined for the natural convection of the air ($\Pr =0.71$) in the square closed cavity (${{\text{A}}_{\text{R}}}=1$). The only physical free parameter of the test remains the thermal Rayleigh number. In the original paper [1] de Vahl Davis tested the problem up to the Rayleigh number ${{10}^{6}}$, however in the latter publications, the results of more intense simulations were presented with the Rayleigh number up to ${{10}^{8}}$. Lage and Bejan [2] showed that the laminar domain of the closed cavity natural convection problem is roughly below $\text{Gr1}{{\text{0}}^{9}}$. It was reported [3, 4] that the natural convection becomes unsteady for $\text{Ra}=2\cdot {{10}^[5]}$. Here we present a MLSM solution of the case. [1] de Vahl Davis G.
