contents Using particle-based numerical simulations performed under pressure-imposed conditions, we investigate the transient dilation dynamics of a shear thickening suspension brought to shear jamming. We show that the stress levels, instead of diverging as predicted by steady state flow rules, remain finite and are entirely determined by the coupling between the particle network dilation and the resulting Darcy backflow. System-spanning stress gradients along the dilation direction lead to cross-system stress differences scaling quadratically with the system size. Measured stress levels are quantitatively captured by a continuum model based on a Reynolds-like dilatancy law and the Wyart-Cates constitutive model. Beyond globally jammed suspensions, our results enable the modeling of inhomogeneous flows where shear jamming is local, e.g. under impact, which eludes usual shear thickening rheological laws.
