From: Phase-Field Simulation of Grain Boundary Evolution In Microstructures Containing Second-Phase Particles with Heterogeneous Thermal Properties

Figure 3

Evolution of the 2D simulation domain for the isothermal scenario where three particle distributions are considered. (a–c) Shows the evolution of the domain with no second phase particles present at \(t=1.6\times {10}^{-4}\,s\), \(t=3.2\times {10}^{-3}\,s\) and \(t=6.4\times {10}^{-3}\,s\) respectiveley. (d) Shows the domain with 640 particles, each with a radius \({r}_{p}=4\,\mu m\) at \(t=6.4\times {10}^{-3}\,s\). (e) Shows the domain with 40 particles, each with a radius \({r}_{p}=16\,\mu m\) at \(t=6.4\times {10}^{-3}\,s\). Particles are shown in magenta with grains coloured based on phase field.
