Computational modeling is discussed of some interstellar surface processes. The surface of interstellar grains is envisaged as covered by at least several layers of weakly bonded molecular material. Simulated amorphous ice particles were used to model interaction of such surfaces with gas, including sticking of H and D atoms, and adsorption of H2. A possibility of microporosity of interstellar ice mantles is discussed.
