The dynamics of vortex lock-on, downstream of a circular cylinder in an oscillatory flow with nonzero mean velocity, is investigated by applying a time-resolved particle image velocimetry technique at the Reynolds number 360. Since the lock-on occurs when the near wake behind a cylinder is perturbed at twice the natural shedding frequency, we interrogate the wake regions of mean recirculation and vortex formation, and analyze the dynamic behavior of the shed vortices, the coherent structure, the phases of vortex evolution, and the Reynolds stress fields. It is shown that due to vortex lock-on the mean recirculation and vortex formation regions are considerably reduced, which is consistent with previous studies. Besides, the kinetic energy in the near wake is more concentrated near the cylinder base. A dramatic change is demonstrated in the trajectory of the shed vortices, which is evaluated from a hybrid method based on complex eigenvalue and vortex centroid. A novel method to identify the phases of the v...
