  Usually, the measurements of electronic and magnetic properties of
superconducting samples are carried out under a constant temperature bath. On
the other hand, thermal gradients induce local variation of the superconducting
order parameter, and the vortex dynamics can present interesting behaviors. In
this work, we solved the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations simulating
samples under two different thermal gradients, and considering two values of
the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, \k{appa}. We find out that both parameters,
i.e., \k{appa} and thermal gradients, play an important role on the vortex
dynamics and on the magnetization behavior of the samples.
