Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be an dimensional complete Riemannian manifold. In this paper we prove local Li-Yau type gradient estimates for all positive solutions to the following nonlinear parabolic equation �egin{equation*} (partial_t - Delta_g + mathcal{R}) u(x, t) = - a u(x, t) log u(x, t) end{equation*} along the generalised geometric flow. Here $mathcalR=mathcalR(x,t)$ is a smooth potential function and $a$ is a constant. As an application we derived a global estimate and a space-time Harnack inequality.
