I have a problem in modelling a Laval nozzle. I can choose only subsonic or supersonic outlet boundary condition in CFX. But really there are subsonic regions near wall and supersonic region dar from walls. So, what should I do?

If it's mostly supersonic just run supersonic.

Thank you, HekLeR. I tried, but when I applied supersonic condition, I didn't get any solution (fatal overflow solver error). When I applied subsonic condition, I got M<<1 at exit.

Probably you still need to run supersonic, but you might have to play with the timestep, eg: smaller maybe....

The problem may be that part of the outlet is subsonic, temporarily, and then there is no way for the system to physically feel the specified pressure.

You might play with stopping the solver just before it blows to see what the solution is looking like. i.e. why is it going bad?
