Figure 2

Temperature gradient components around the second phase particle at \(2.85\times {10}^{-3}\,s\); (a) shows \(\partial T\partial x\) and (b) shows \(\partial T\partial y\) around a second phase pinning particle with lower thermal conductivity than the primary phase. Non-trivial thermal gradient driving forces are generated on the grain boundary as it approaches and migrates over the particle.
