Ledinegg instability is one of the most important static instabilities for two phase flow system, especially in microchannel systems. In this paper, the force circulation two phase flow instability in vertical multi-channel system is performed by the best estimate system computer code RELAP5. The process and inherent reason of flow instability between multichannel system (FIBM) and flow excursion in forced circulation parallel channel system are analyzed. The effects of main operating parameters related to static onset of flow instability are investigated. Inlet subcooling, inlet restrictor, and saturation pressure are sensitive to the stability of parallel channel system.
