Here, certain Ricci flow for Finsler $n$-manifolds is considered and deformation of Cartan $hh$-curvature, as well as Ricci tensor and scalar curvature, are derived for spaces of scalar flag curvature. As an application, it is shown that on a family of Finsler manifolds of constant flag curvature, the scalar curvature satisfies the so-called heat-type equation. Hence on a compact Finsler manifold of constant flag curvature of initial non-negative scalar curvature, the scalar curvature remains non-negative by Ricci flow and blows up in a short time.
Keywords: deformation, Finsler Ricci flow, blow up, evolution, heat-type equation
