The investigation of mechanisms of electrochemical processes often requires the comparison of experiemntal current-voltage dependence and a theoretical wave shape corresponding to an assumed model. Theoretical relationships between an electrochemical observable and the electrode potential are obtained by solving the mass-transport equations with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Complicated reaction schemes often lead to nonlinear equations that can only be treated by simulation techniques. Here, we focus on these techniques in the cases of irregular and fractal surfaces.
