Problem with flow through nanonozzle
 

Hi. I'm a new OpenFOAM user and am working on simulating high pressure flow through a nanonozzle. I built my mesh using a wedge to speed up computation time and have set my boundary conditions as best I can. I'm using sonicFoam to allow for potential supersonic flow through the nozzle. Currently, I can run blockMesh and sonicFoam without errors, but when I check the results using paraFoam or probes, there appears to be no flow through the nozzle. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my mesh or my boundary conditions, so I will post both if that helps anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here is my blockMeshDict file

Additional information:
I'm trying to simulate helium gas going through the nozzle. I'm modeling a system which I built and experimented with, so I know that there should be flow. My nanonozzle is cooled to 77K, so I also have a 0/T file which sets my temperatures to 77K. I have a large volume of helium at high pressure in the inlet so that the pressure should be approximately constant at the inlet and the outlet connects to a mass spectrometer which applies a vacuum. Using Knudsen number calculations. I found that I am in the slip flow regime, which is why I currently have my boundary conditions at the walls set to slip flow.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
