Comment on ‘‘Some properties of an eight-mode Lorenz model for convection in binary fluids’’

Abstract
It is pointed out that a model system for convection in binary fluids studied by Gross [Phys. Lett. A 119, 21 (1986)] may be considered a special case of a model previously introduced for a laser with a saturable absorber. It is shown that some results previously developed for the laser system may then be carried over to the binary-fluid system after an appropriate transformation.
