Abstract
Recently, we proposed a universal scaling framework that shows shear thickening in dense suspensions is governed by the crossover between two critical points: one associated with frictionless isotropic jamming and a second corresponding to frictional shear jamming. Here, we show that orthogonal perturbations to the flows, an effective method for tuning shear thickening, can also be folded into this universal scaling framework. Specifically we show that the effect of adding orthogonal shear perturbations can be incorporated into the scaling variable via a multiplicative function, determined through our measurements, to achieve collapse of the entire thickening and dethickening dataset onto a single universal curve. We then show that this universal scaling framework can be used to control the phase behavior in thickening and jamming suspensions.
