Abstract: The behavior of an isolated dilute granular gas near the threshold of its clustering instability is investigated by means of fluctuating hydrodynamics and the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The theoretical predictions from the former are shown to be in good agreement with the simulation results. The total energy of the the system is renormalized by the fluctuations of the vorticity field. Moreover, the scaled second moment of the energy fluctuations exhibits a power-law divergent behavior
