hi, I´m new into CFD and Ansys and I´m trying to model axial fan noise. My problem is on the CFD part of the problem, the flux and vortex solution...

The problem is that I have no idea on the basic parameters settings I should use. I mean, I don´t how about the mesh spacing I should use, the best boundary conditions to apply (to the inlet and outlet parts), etc. I´ve been reading Ansys manuals but I get examples for turbines, etc. but not for axial fan problems. I set up simulations but I can´t get the solution to converge. Does anyone around here with experience that could guide me a bit on how to approach this kind of problems? I´m not asking for a step-by-step explanation or guide, but some help or someone that I could ask some questions.
thank you!
