Hello, Thank you for your reply.
I am using the pressure based solver with coupled method and 2nd order discretization schemes. I also tried the density based solver, but it seems to take a lot more iterations to get to the same point.
After 150 iterations:

After 300 iterations:

500 iterations:
Converged solution:
Residuals drop sharply after the shock disappears and the inlet which was supersonic initially becomes subsonic.

Inlet was suppose to remain at mach 1.7 but after the shock disappears it becomes subsonic.

Kindly help, thanks.
