Abstract
We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that the super gauge symmetry is preserved in the gradient flow. Furthermore, choosing an appropriate modification term to damp the gauge degrees of freedom, we obtain a gradient flow equation which is closed within the Wess-Zumino gauge.
