Book excerpt: Fractal structures or geometries currently play a key role in all models for natural and industrial processes that exhibit the formation of rough surfaces and interfaces. Computer simulations, analytical theories and experiments have led to significant advances in modeling these phenomena across wild media. Many problems coming from engineering, physics or biology are characterized by both the presence of different temporal and spatial scales and the presence of contacts among different components through (irregular) interfaces that often connect media with different characteristics. This work is devoted to collecting new results on fractal applications in engineering from both theoretical and numerical perspectives. The book is addressed to researchers in the field.
