Abstract: Given a $7$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $left(M,gight)$ that admits $G_2$-structure, all the $G_2$-structures that are compatible with the metric $g$ are parametrized by unit sections of an octonion bundle over $M$. 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 $G_2$-structures with divergence-free torsion. In this paper, we first derive estimates for derivatives of $Vleft(tight)$ along the flow and prove that the flow exists as long as the torsion remains bounded. We also prove a monotonicity formula and and an $varepsilon$-regularity result for this flow. Finally, we show that within a metric class of $G_2$-structures that contains a torsion-free $G_2$-structure, under certain conditions, the flow will converge to a torsion-free $G_2$-structure.
