Résumé : We developed computer simulations of an inelastic granular gas which show that the energy decay proposed by Goldhirsch and Zanetti [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1619 (1993)] has a limited validity. Moreover, we give an exact solution of the Liouville equation for the moments of the two-body homogeneous cooling distribution. The latter includes velocity correlations which raises questions about the derivation of kinetic equations for inelastic gases.
