We have carried out detailed numerical simulations of solar granular convection cells of different horizontal dimension. The calculations account for the basic physics of compressible convection, including the ionization of H I, He I and He II, and H2 molecule formation as well as non-local, multi-dimensional radiative transfer (grey approximation in LTE). A more detailed description of the simulations has been given by Steffen and Muchmore (1988) and by Steffen et al. (1989).
