This work provides an approach and methodology to set up nondimensional CFD analyses through commercially available software packages that are intrinsically dimensional. By the proposed method, one can generate brief and strong results without much post processing thanks to the carefully selecting independent variables that constitute the governing nondimensional numbers. Several aspects of the nondimensionalization scheme are tried via quantitative cases based on the governing nondimensional scale, i.e., the Reynolds number to show their conveniency and disadvantages for investigating different physics. In-house code nondimensionalization is also evaluated based on the present results. Practical experiences on the CFD simulation conduction are shared. It is concluded that the nondimensionalization strategy should be based on the parameters to be investigated to reduce the CFD workload.}, number={4}, publisher={Nigde Omer Halisdemir University}
