Abstract
We simulate the plane Couette flow of a dilute granular gas using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method. We calculate relevant hydrodynamic and rheological quantities and highlight the effects of driving shear rate and inelasticity on them. Our results reveal the competing effects of dissipation-induced particle clustering and shear-induced de-clustering on hydrodynamic and rheological fields and call for suitable modifications in theoretical models that predict the flow of rarefied granular gases.
