Evaluating velocity gradient in boundary layer

Hi all,
I would like to calculate where the condition deltaU/deltalY reaches zero thus the separation condition for a laminar-turbulent flow within a boundary layer at the wall is fullfilled.
How can I calculate the gradient along a profile and with x-axis being the position on the airfoil in x-direction and y-axis being the calculated derivate described above? So basically deriving the velocity field in normal direction with respect to the normal wall distance?
Thank you very much!
