N2 - Granular gas sheared by two parallel bumpy walls (Couette flow) were investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. A linear stability analysis was carried out, and the gas was sensitive to asymmetries of the initial particle position, and velocities and asymmetric stationary state, where the deviation from (anti)symmetric hydrodynamic fields is stronger as the normal restitution coefficient decreases.
