Default how to simulate supersonic flow

hi all, i'm a new user of Fluent. now i try to simulate 2-D supersonic wind tunnel (theoritically the velocity will start from subsonic, then accelerate to supersonic, then become subsonic again with occurence of normal/oblique shock) using inviscid model. i'm using pressure inlet, pressure outlet, and wall boundry conditions. the problem is that the solution is always divegence if i use coupled implicit. if i use coupled explicit, the residuals will osilate and never become converge. so what must i do now?

Try with pressure far field for your inlet and oulet boundary conditions.
