We will save you some time and effort by providing you the geometry file for this tutorial. Please download the blade geometry right here. The blade was created right in Design Modeler and has the file extension .agdb which stands for DesignModeler Database.
In the following video we show you how to import this file and we explain important features of this geometry.
In this video, we show you how to correctly orient the blade given the pitch angle specification and we show you how to translate the blade so that the global axis becomes at center of rotation (center of hub).

Summary of steps in the above video:
In the following video, we close off all opening then make a solid body to represent the volume of the blade, out of the current surface bodies.

Summary of steps in the above video:
We now draw the fluid volume.

Finally, we do a Boolean subtraction to remove the blade volume from the fluid geometry.
