The flow characteristics around the vertical wall with the flap were visualized in the water channel using PIV. And the effect of flap angle change was investigated to see how quickly the spreading can be prevented and confined if oil spill occurs at sea. As a result, the fluid in the front of the vertical wall flows constantly, Nearing a boundary layer on the vertical wall, and a flow separation phenomenon occurs. Thereafter, flow loss or depth loss to the bottom of the vertical wall was confirmed. Also, it was observed that irregular reverse circulation flow occurred due to flap angle change and pressure gradient at the back of vertical wall. In this study, it was analyzed that it is most effective at 20 degrees angle. In the future, it is necessary to confine the flow characteristics of PIV and CFD by assuming that there is a double vertical wall in which oil having a lower specific gravity than water is trapped in the oil fence.
