Bibliography

Version control repository of my bibliography.

About

This repository serves as a collection of references for academic publications, research papers, and other scholarly works. The references are stored in the BibTeX format and are managed with the Pubs tool¹. Most of the data is sourced from Crossref, with additional modifications applied, such as author name corrections, case protection, inclusion of page numbers, and standardization of fields, among others. It is important to note that the original documents themselves are not available in this repository.

The primary purpose of this repository is to serve as a backup for my bibliography. As a PhD student in fluid mechanics, the majority of the references pertain to fluid mechanics and numerical methods. The repository may be of value to individuals working with similar references.

The following sections of this README serve as a personal reminder of the conventions I have established for organizing this bibliography.

Bibliography

The complete reference list is available in Markdown text format in the file ./bibliography.md, and individual references in BibTeX format are stored in the ./bib directory.

Convention for citation keys

This bibliography follows the Google Scholars convention for citation keys, which is <author><year><first-relevant-word>. For instance, an article authored by Loïc Reynier-Décomis published in 2023 and titled Anti-diffusion scheme for the reverse time-advancement of meta-stable time-travel turbulence simulation will be cited using the key reynier2023anti.

Convention for BibTeX fields

• author: The names of the authors should be as complete as possible, and if the first names are known, they must be included.
• month: The numerical representation of the month should be used (example: month = {2}).
• title: Capital letters should be protected with braces (example: title = {... in turbulence {DNS}}) According to this question on TeX StackExchange, only the capital letters in this field should be protected.

Tags

References are tagged for quick accessibility through pubs list "tags:<tag>". Below is the list of associated tags and their descriptions²:

• HIT: Works related to isotropic turbulence.
• ImplicitMethods: Works related to (semi-)implicit numerical methods.
• VariableDensity: Works related to variable-density flows.
• SpectralMethods: Works related to spectral numerical methods.
• Lectures: Lectures notes and presentations;
• Software: Library, programs and protocols.
• Textbooks: Textbooks.
• Theses: Doctoral theses.
• PhD³: References used in my thesis.
• ArticleVDHIT: References used in our article on isotropic turbulence of variable-density incompressible flows.
• ArticleVDPrecond: References used in our article on the preconditioning of the operators related to the numerical resolution of incompressible flows with variable-density.

Pubs configuration

The bibliography is organized to be managed with following Pubs configuration:

[main]
pubsdir = /home/loic/.pubs
docsdir = /home/loic/.pubs/docs
doc_add = link
note_extension = md

Therefore, this repository should be cloned and linked to ~/.pubs:

git clone git@github.com:loicreynier/bibliography <path>
ln -s <path> ~/.pubs
