We investigate four-dimensional, self-dual gravitational instantons endowed with a product structure , where is a homogeneous three-dimensional manifold of Bianchi type. We analyze the general conditions under which Euclidean-time evolution in the gravitational instanton can be identified with a geometric flow of a metric on . This includes both unimodular and non-unimodular groups, and the corresponding geometric flow is a general Ricci plus Yang–Mills flow accompanied by a diffeomorphism.
