To study the performance of partial air cushion-supported catamaran (PACSCAT), which is sailing with a flexible air seal in waves, this paper uses the model tests, and research the motion characteristics of PACSCAT at different wavelengths, by monitoring the boundaries of heave, pitch, acceleration, air cushion pressure. Firstly this paper introduces the test situation of PACSCAT in the towing tank and introduces the test method, equipment, and test conditions. Second, this paper extracts the test data, analyzes the features of heave, pitch, acceleration, and air cushion pressure, and studies their linear and nonlinear changes in regular waves. Thirdly this paper analyzes the nonlinear air leakage flow of the bow of PACSCAT in detail under the test conditions and studies the internal and external free liquid surface under different conditions.
