The isentropic vortex problem is frequently solved to test the accuracy of numerical methods and verify corresponding code. Unfortunately, its existing solution was derived in the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics by numerically solving an ordinary differential equation. This note provides an analytical solution of the 2D isentropic vortex problem with explicit algebraic expressions in the special relativistic hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics and extends it to the 3D case.
