This paper presents the simulation studies on the effect of oil leaking rate for oil leakage from damaged submarine pipelines. Oil spill are very serious issue that need to be taken care when construct and install the submarine pipeline. Due to the demand, transporting via pipeline with safety precaution is the best way to fulfil the demand. The objective of the present paper is to study the oil flows from damaged submarine pipelines with different oil leaking rate. CFD (computational fluid dynamic) simulations with GAMBIT and FLUENT software are carried out to investigate the process of oil spill from submarine pipeline to free surface. The whole computational domain is a rectangle with a length of 20 m and a height of 15 m. The length of computational domain is large enough, which is larger than the longest horizontal distance the oil droplets migrate when they reach the sea surface. Water occupies the lower region with height of 14.5 m, while air occupies the upper region. The damage submarine pipeline with the outside diameter (OD) of 0.6 m.
