Abstract: We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow---that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow---both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate that one natural geometric context for the flow is a special case of the locally $mathbb{R}^N$-invariant Ricci flow of Lott, and provide examples of gradient solitons for the flow. We prove a version of Hamilton's compactness theorem for the flow, and then generalize it to the category of '{e}tale Riemannian groupoids. Finally, we provide a detailed example of solutions to the flow on the Lie group $Ni{l}^3$.
