Abstract: We consider the Laplacian "co-flow" of G2-structures: fracddtpsi=Deltadpsi where psi is the dual 4-form of a G2-structure phi and Deltad is the Hodge Laplacian on forms. This flow preserves the condition of the G2-structure being coclosed (dpsi=0). We study this flow for two explicit examples of coclosed G2-structures with symmetry. These are given by warped products of an interval or a circle with a compact 6-manifold N which is taken to be either a nearly K"ahler manifold or a Calabi-Yau manifold. In both cases, we derive the flow equations and also the equations for soliton solutions. In the Calabi-Yau case, we find all the soliton solutions explicitly. In the nearly K"ahler case, we find several special soliton solutions, and reduce the general problem to a single emph{third order} highly nonlinear ordinary differential equation.
