Either
1) run Wireshark from the command line, with the "-r" flag, and with
the argument to the "-r" flag being the pathname of the tcpdump file
or
2) run Wireshark and use the File > Open menu item and browse for the
tcpdump file.
Wireshark's native file format is libpcap format, which is also the
native file format of tcpdump, so one shouldn't need help to open a
tcpdump file in Wireshark; it should Just Work. If it doesn't work,
that's a bug; please report it as such, to http://bugs.wireshark.org/.
