The observed distribution of ionised carbon with depth into the edge-on photodissociation region (PDR) in M17SW is not consistent with results from chemical models which assume a constant or smoothly varying density. These observations have been interpreted to indicate that the PDR actually consists of many clumps embedded in a low density interclump medium (1). A chemical model is described which is designed to simulate such a clumpy PDR.
