  We show a case of steady flow in a granular gas that, for small shear rates,
is accurately described by Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics, even for high
inelasticity. The (low density) granular gas is composed of identical inelastic
spheres and is fluidized by a temperature field produced by a stochastic volume
force plus thermal walls. We prove that the theoretical Navier-Stokes transport
coefficients exhibit good agreement with numerical solutions of the
corresponding the kinetic equation (direct simulation Monte Carlo method) in
the steady state.
