Abstract: Bose-Einstein correlation is discussed for particles produced by rapidly expanding sources, when kinematical effects hinder a direct relation between the observed correlations and the source dimensions. Some of these effects are illustrated by considering Landau's hydrodynamical model wherein each space-time point of the fluid with temperature T=${T}_{c}$\ensuremath{\simeq}${m}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ is taken as an independent and chaotic emitting center with a Planck spectral distribution. In particular, this model reproduces surprisingly well the observed \ensuremath{\pi}-\ensuremath{\pi} and K-K correlations at the CERN ISR.
