Heating of magnetized plasmas by low-frequency Alfvén waves propagating along background magnetic field is studied with test particle simulation.It shows that ions in perpendicular and parallel directions of the background magnetic field are heated significantly.In a stage of non-resonance heating,perpendicular heating is more significant than parallel heating,and anisotropic temperature comes into being.In a stage of stochastic heating,perpendicular and parallel temperatures of ions finally reach saturation and convergence.In heating process,the maximum kinetic temperature of ions is dependent on the ratio of magnetic field energy density and plasma density,which has no relevance with Alfvön-wave frequency and amplitude.Ions are significantly accelerated in parallel direction.and attained a bulk speed that is roughly equal to phase velocity of Alfvén waves.
