[en] A mathematical model has been developed for the linear stability analyses of a system of ventilated parallel boiling channels. The model can accomodate phasic slip, arbitrary non-uniform axial power distributions, distributed local losses, heater wall dynamics, channel-to-channel radial power skews, discrete or continuous ventilation between the channels, turbulent mixing between the channels, various donor-cell options for the lateral transport of energy and momentum, and a transverse momentum equation, including storage and crossflow inertia. A special matrix reduction scheme was developed to efficiently solve the system of linearized, Laplace transformed , nodal equations. The digital computer programs, MAZDA-1F, MAZDA-4S and MAZDA-4F, were written for the numerical evaluation of the mathematical model developed
