Default Skewed elements at sharp corners

Julian121 is on a distinguished road
I am trying to mesh a complex geometry which has some curved and sharp corners.
At first, I wanted to generate a hexa mesh for the geometry but after some attempts I decided to generate tetra mesh.
I have used small element size and curvature refinement. The mesh types I have used are octree, delauny and hexa core.
After I generate prism layers on those sharp corners, some elements which are highly skewed form on those corners.
When I use this mesh in the solver (CFX), continuity equation does not converge completely and the locations of maximum residuals are those corners with skewed elements.
Could someone please give me a hint about how to fix this problem?
