# gst: scanning inside a granular raft

<< Rheology of macroscopic particle-laden interfaces, called “granular rafts,” has been experimentally studied in the simple shear configuration.  >>️

<< Close to the walls of the rheometer cell, one can observe regions of large local shear rate while in the middle of the cell a quasistatic zone exists. >>

<< Measuring the probability density functions of the instantaneous local shear rate, (AA) provide evidence of a balance between positive and negative instantaneous local shear rate. This behavior is the signature of a quasistatic region inside the granular raft. >>️
