Dependent on platform, but it almost always contains the OS process id which you can get from v$process.

So something like

select c.value || '/' ||

    'appropriate_format_string'||

       a.spid || '.trc'
  from v$process a, v$session b, v$parameter c  where a.addr = b.paddr
   and b.sid = ( select sid

                 from v$mystat 
                 where rownum = 1)

   and c.name = 'user_dump_dest'
