Given a 7-dimensional compact Riemannian manifoldthat admits-structure, all the-structures that are compatible with the metricgare parametrized by unit sections of an octonion bundle overM. We define a natural energy functional on unit octonion sections and consider its associated heat flow. The critical points of this functional and flow precisely correspond to-structures with divergence-free torsion. In this paper, we first derive estimates for derivatives ofV(t) along the flow and prove that the flow exists as long as the torsion remains bounded. We also prove a monotonicity formula and an-regularity result for this flow. Finally, we show that within a metric class of-structures that contains a torsion-free-structure, under certain conditions, the flow will converge to a torsion-free-structure.
