In this paper, we present results of Particle-In-Cell simulations of the plasma behavior in the vicinity of gaps in castellated plasma-facing components. We studied gaps in the test limiter of TEXTOR, which is a plasma-facing component designed for studies of impurity transport and fuel retention, mainly via hydrocarbon layer formation. The castellated limiter tiles have been analyzed using the postmortem techniques and first attempts of impurity transport modelling were done using the 3DGAP code [Matveev et al., 2008]. In order to improve the agreement between modeling and experiment, realistic plasma particle flux distribution needs to be included in the code. For this purpose, a series of PIC simulations for varying plasma conditions was performed by using the SPICE2 code [Dejarnac et al., 2008]. Plasma behavior inside the gaps is discussed and semi-empiric characterization via generic fitting procedure is proposed
