This paper focuses on two-dimensional continuous subsonic-sonic potential flows in a semi-infinitely long nozzle with a straight lower wall and an upper wall which is convergent at the outlet while straight at the far fields. It is proved that if the variation rate of the cross section of the nozzle is suitably small, there exists a unique continuous subsonic-sonic flows in the nozzle such that the sonic curve intersects the upper wall at a fixed point and the velocity of the flow is along the normal direction at the sonic curve. Furthermore, the sonic curve is free, where the flow is singular in the sense that the flow speed is only Hölder continuous and the flow acceleration blows up. Additionally, the asymptotic behaviors of the flow speed at the far fields is shown.

Keywords: Degeneracy, free boundary, continuous subsonic-sonic flow, nonlocal boundary condition.
