Greetings!
 
SporeSim is physical-mathematical validated layer model to simulate dispersal of pollen and spores within a crop.
It may calulete the escape-fraction as the percentage of partic;es leaving the crop.
We used it to calculate the escape fraction of a biocontrol fungus for a risk analysis.
Then we incorporated a low sedimentation velocity Vs. If we change the parameter of Vs in Vs = 0.02 m/sec
SporeSim can quantify dispersal orf pollen grains and spores with à high sedimentation velocity such as conidiopspores of Potato Late Bliight.
 
It might be worthwhile to describe a version of SporeSim adapted to simulate pollen dispersal. However, I donot have a job thus such a small research should be funded externally by e.g. Kellog's Cornflakes to publish a paper on dispersal of pollen in corn. You may find a comprehensive description of Sporesim in

Please feel free to e-mail meindertdejong@... if you see any opportunity for a scientific collaboration.
Thanks for the attention!
