Sequence of images from a run simulating the erosion of a porous device (green) loaded with 5% of another solid (red) that dissolves rapidly.

Colors of various phases

 GREEN slowly dissolving phase, e.g polymer matrix.
 RED rapidly dissolving solid, e.g. drug.
 BLUE solvent, e.g. aqueous phase.
 BLACK : macropores in multicomponent device.
