This is the final version. Available from the American Physical Society via the DOI in this recordWe have used numerical micromagnetic simulations to propose a feasible candidate system in which Bloch oscillations of spin waves could be observed experimentally. Our simulations demonstrate these phenomena for backward volume magnetostatic spin waves (BVMSWs) in a film of yttrium-iron-garnet in a spatially varying bias magnetic field comprising a sinusoidal and gradient contributions. Despite the complex character of the BVMSW dispersion relation, the spin-wave packets are distinctly confined by the field gradient, while showing only minor broadening over the simulation time.Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)European Union Horizon 202
