The parallel direct method of direct numerical simulation (PDM-DNS) for Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection is used in this paper. The differences and similarities in flow characteristic between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) turbulent RB convection are studied using mean field for Ra=109, 1010, 5×1010, and Pr=4.3. Each of 2D and 3D cases has a large-scale circulation and corner rolls. The shape of large-scale circulation becomes round and the size of corner roll turns small as Ra increases. In 2D RB convection, there are four corner vortices at the corner of the square cavity and a stable large-scale circulation which is elliptical. For spanwise averaged 3D RB convection with two corner vortices, large-scale circulation reveals spindle shape. Due to the characteristic of the corner roll, the region plume dominating is wider in 2D RB convection than in the spanwise-averaged 3D case. Further, the Ra-dependence of thermal boundary layer properties is also studied. The thermal boundary layer thickness is scaled with Ra and the scaling exponents of λθ with Ra in the 2D and 3D cases are very similar.
