This paper investigates the steady subsonic inviscid flows with large vorticities through two-dimensional infinitely long nozzles. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the smooth subsonic ideal flows, which are governed by a two-dimensional complete Euler system. More precisely, given the horizontal velocity with possible large oscillation and the entropy of the incoming flows at the entrance of the nozzles, it was shown that there exists a critical value; if the mass flux of the incoming flows is larger than the critical one, then there exists a unique smooth subsonic polytropic gas through the given smooth infinitely long nozzles. Furthermore, the maximal speed of the flows approaches to the sonic speed, as the mass flux goes to the critical value. The results improve the previous work for steady subsonic flows with small vorticities and for subsonic irrotational flows and indicate that the large vorticity is admissible for the smooth subsonic ideal flows in nozzles. This paper gives a rigorous proof to the well posedness of the smooth subsonic problem first posed back in the basic survey of Lipman Bers for inviscid flows with large vorticities.
