Sirs
In my study, I have modeled a wind turbine blade and meshed using ICEM CFD /ANSYS WB.. The subsequent cases involve Vortex generator to be incorporated on the blade surface and I request to give suggestions on
1.Meshing technique for blade with VG
2.Software which we can perform appealing mesh
I didn't get your question clearly but I assume that you need suggestions for the meshing of blade and the VG together. You can make an assembly out of the two parts and then try out assembly meshing with conformal boundaries, in WB. Conformal meshing ensures continuity at the interface of the blade and the VG. Hope this answers your question.
There are a lot of meshing tools.
Some are free like blockMesh+SnappyHexMesh and FoamyHexMesh of OpenFOAM or Salome. Both can be easily converted into the Ansys format.
Regarding which meshing strategy is the best, it depends from your configuration. Can you post an image of the geometry. In any case, if you are able to partition the domain into simple blocks so to be able to mesh them easily and with a good mesh, then the strategy of using interfaces between internal non conformal boundaries as suggested by Krishna can be powerful and simplify the mesh generation. But off course, the computational time will increase a little.

There are many programs can helps you to have nice mesh like ICEM CFD, GAMBIT and others. I used The ANSYS FLUENT and ANSYS CFX and notice that ANSYS ANSYS WORKBENCH has a good options to mesh a wide range of small and big areas specially if you draw a box around the VG area.

Dear Sir
Good day. I believed that a good program can help you to mesh your project is ICEM CFD with Tetrahedra.
