Today’s CDF simulations tools and the related computational resources provide the engineers an
enormously high-fidelity design tool to generate in a short time span an enormous aerodynamic and
aerothermal database, both for the laminar and turbulent state. However, transitional flow simulation
is still in its infancy that one still needs to rely on practical engineering correlations composed of typical
boundary layer parameters. This work describes the methodology to extract the necessary boundary
layer parameters from any vast dataset in an automatic fashion, allowing to apply best-practice
correlations on any type of three-dimensional geometrical body. The validation on simple test cases
and application on real geometries demonstrates the potential of this engineering methodology.
