A complete set of two-point correlation equations for variable-density turbulence is derived to consistent order in mass-weighted variables (Favre averaging). The derivation is based on a two-point generalization of the Reynolds stress tensor. The equations are transformed with respect to the separation between the two points to Fourier space. The correlation equations, as well as the Fourier-transformed equations, provide insights that are unavailable in the one-point equations. The derivation of spectral closures is significantly more complicated than that of constant-density closures or one-point variable-density closures due to the complex nature of isotropic scalar-vector correlation functions for nonsolenoidal fields. Several necessary constraints for the correlation functions are presented. In addition, a simple spectral model that satisfies these constraints is presented for illustrative purposes, and a discussion of the two-point correlations and their relationship to the corresponding correlations arising in one-point derivations is provided.
