Ocean thermal energy conversion is one of the research hotspots of marine renewable energy in recent years. Free-hanging water intake pipes are the key structure to extract deep cold seawater. At present, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) response characteristics of free-hanging pipes in deep sea currents are not clear yet. In this paper, model tests of a free-hanging pipe under uniform flow were carried out, and the strain response of vortex-induced vibration was measured by the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor. The amplitude and frequency characteristics of the free-hanging pipe were investigated by modal analysis and wavelet transform data processing methods. It is revealed that the maximum amplitude of the VIV displacement response of the free-hanging pipe under the uniform flow mainly occurs at the bottom. The dominant frequencies in inline (IL) direction is basically two times that in cross flow (CF) direction. However, in the conditions where the modal transition occurs, the dominant frequencies in IL and CF directions are the same, accompanied by obvious "traveling wave", "multi-frequency response" and "time-sharing" phenomenon. In addition, the Strouhal number of the overhanging pipe model in CF and IL under uniform sea currents are 0.15 and 0.30, which are slightly smaller than the results of flexible risers hinged at both ends. This value may serve as the parameter input for the vortex-induced vibration prediction of free-hanging pipes.
