Spiral of Silence Theory Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann’s spiral of silence is a theory that was developed in 1974 and as the founder and the director of the Public Opinion Research Center in Allensbach in Germany; she has found evidence of how the spread of public opinion is formed. The term spiral of silence refers to the increasing pressure people feel to conceal their views they think they are the minority. People will be unwilling to publicly express their opinion if they are in the minority and

The behavior I have is a fear of flying. This behavior developed when I was younger on an international flight back to the U.S.‚ there was a bad storm and the turbulence was really bad and the plane felt like it was dropping out of the sky. Also there was another instance where I was flying through the mountains in a propeller plane. These particular planes do not fly as high as say a Boeing 757 or a jet‚ therefore you feel every single wind gust and bump. As the plane was descending into our destination

important. In a river channel that is rough and irregular the water very rarely flows in a smooth straight line (known as laminar flow). Instead it is turbulent and flows in many different directions. This water movement is known as eddies. Turbulence creates an upward movement of water that allows a river to pick up material and move it i.e. to do work. However‚ how turbulent a river is depends on how fast it is flowing. A river with high velocity can overcome friction and still have the energy

so quiet and that made me even more afraid. I kept looking over the window but I could see no lights down to the earth because they were all covered by the big gray clouds. It didn’t take too long and the turbulences started. The captain made an announcement that there would be a lot of turbulences due to the bad weather but there was no need to be alarmed .The air hostesses kept informing us to tighten our seat belts and be calm. On that moment I could hear people starting chatting with quiet voices

The solver is using a full-scale time-marching 3D viscous model. Underlying equations‚ three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in their conservation form‚ are being solved by using a Finite Volume method‚ where equations are integrated over the finite control volumes. Thereby‚ the solution domain is subdivided
