Abstract We describe the results of a benchmark study of numerical codes designed to treat problems of high Prandtl number convection in three-dimensional Cartesian geometry. In addition, quantitative results from laboratory convection experiments are compared with numerical data. The cases of bimodal convection at constant viscosity and of square cell convection for temperature-dependent viscosity have been selected.
