Actually far, problem is my blade is highly twisted. Also I don't have much idea about blocking, I am doing it first time.I have gone through some tutorials, But I am using just basic things. Can you suggest a blocking strategy.
Thanks

actually you have very little space in the vicinity of blades. Change the periodic boundaries roughly to the shape of blade.
