a map of the invariants of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor bounding all realizable states of turbulence between one-, two- and three-component limits.

In fluid dynamics, Lumley triangle refers to a map of the invariants of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor bounding all realizable states of turbulence between one-, two- and three-component limits. This meaning comes from Lumley (1977) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
