Abstract

Vibrating walls, used to maintain the temperature in a granular gas, modify the system strongly. Most conspicuously, the usual one-peak velocity distribution splits into two, asymmetrically positioned. A surgical repair of the usual hydrodynamic description is presented that provides an account for, and an understanding of, the situation.<br />Comment: 3 fig
