  "abstract": "We study the phase mixing and dissipation of a packet of standing shear Alfv\\'en waves localized in a region with non-uniform Alfv\\'en background velocity. We investigate the validity of the exponential damping law in time, $\\exp(-At^3)$, presented by Heyvaerts & Priest (1983) for different ranges of Lundquist, $S$, and Reynolds, $R$, numbers. Our numerical results shows that it is valid for $(R,S)\\geq 10^7$.",
