TCP SYN Flood attack uses the three-way handshake mechanism.
1. An attacker at system A sends a SYN packet to victim at system B
2. System B sends a SYN/ACK packet to victim A
3. As a normal three-way handshake mechanism system A should send an ACK packet to system B, however, system A does not send an ACK packet to system B. In this case client B is waiting for an ACK packet from client A

I'm pretty confident that the logical data model is used to abstract the conceptual data model and incorporate the rules of normalization. That's the key purpose of the logical model, to manage data integrity and relationships.
