AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this work we provide analytic and numerical solutions for the Bjorken
flow, a standard benchmark in relativistic hydrodynamics providing a simple model
for the bulk evolution of matter created in collisions between heavy nuclei.<br/>We consider relativistic gases of both massive and massless particles, working in
a (2+1) and (3+1) Minkowski space-time coordinate system. The numerical results
from a recently developed lattice kinetic scheme show excellent agreement with the
analytic solutions.</p>
