The nozzle is a kind of widely used fluid equipment. It is very important to study its internal flow for improving nozzle performance or improving nozzle design. In this paper, the numerical simulation method based on the Euler equation is used to solve the flow in the nozzle. Euler equations are solved by an explicit finite difference method, including discretization, pre-estimation and correction steps. Boundary treatment for the subsonic inlet and supersonic outlet are discussed. The flow characteristics inside a Laval nozzle are analysed based on the numerical results. The influence of Laval nozzle throat width on the nozzle flow is investigated by comparing three nozzles. It is observed that the dimensionless pressure, temperature, and density of the three nozzles have similar trends. While the maximum Mach number at the outlet decreases with the increase of the throat width. In short, the throat width should be decreased if a larger outlet speed of the flow is needed.
