Notes:
Direct Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the stability of a dilute freely evolving granular gas of hard disks. The boundary between stability and instability in the plane (α,L), where α is the restitution coefficient and L the size of the system, has been delineated. Instability is associated with the buildup of spatial correlations, which describes the formation of velocity vortices in the system. The simulation results are compared with theoretical predictions presented recently, and a good agreement is found. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
