Observations by spacecraft imaging systems of scattered light in the innermost comae of comets indicate an inhomogeneous dust emission from the surface [1-5]. Models show that these can be due to inhomogeneous outgassing (caused by the distribution of the volatiles and/or by the topography) [6,7]. We have been studying how the dust distribution responds to gas temperature at the surface, the density of the background gas, the composition and the influence of the thermal accommodation coefficient which influences the drag coefficient. A short summary of the results is presented.
