AB  - A novel mesoscopic simulation technique--multi-particle collision dynamics--which has been suggested very recently, is used to study the two-dimensional flow around a square and a circular cylinder. The method is described and new proper boundary conditions are proposed to deal with wall collisions. The flow is analyzed in a wide range of Reynolds numbers in order to cover both the steady and unsteady regimes, resulting in symmetric steady vortices and periodic vortex shedding, respectively. The numerical results for integral flow parameters, such as the recirculation length, the drag and lift coefficients, the Strouhal number, as well as the spatial dependence of the velocity field, are compared with previous numerical and experimental studies. The qualitative and quantitative agreement is very good, validating the method as a promising technique to describe the hydrodynamic effects of solvent on embedded particles.
