When oil spill disaster on sea takes place, the most effective measure is to use oil fence with vertical wall. It has been big challenges that suitable oil fence in consideration of variety of variables such as wind speed, height of wave and current direction is chosen. And current characteristics below two of vertical wall was studied by PIV experiment with utilizing technic of visualized analysis like velocity distribution, contour of velocity and streamline pattern in flow characteristic between vertical wall of oil fence. In this study it is purposed to identify characteristics of inside water flow between two vertical walls depending on respective various water speeds to minimize outflow of floating article below bottom of vertical wall and observed that re-circulation flow and irregular vortex at certain places between two vertical walls occurred. Consequently, the study showed that failure of oil fence such as entrainment failure and submergence failure can be largely lessen by means of optimizing length between two vertical walls with water speeds.
