Abstract: It is shown that one point velocity correlations may be expressed as a volume integral of the product of the singular part of Green’s function and a function, ${h_{jM}}\left ( {x,X} \right )$, which satisfies Poisson’s equation and vanishes for points on the boundary. An explicit expression is found for ${h_{jM}}\left ( {x,X} \right )$. These results provide a computational method for determining the velocity correlations.
