We study N=1 domain wall solutions of type IIB supergravity compactified on aCalabi-Yau manifold in the presence of RR and NS electric and magnetic fluxes.We show that the dynamics of the scalar fields along the direction transverseto the domain wall is described by gradient flow equations controlled by asuperpotential W. We then provide a geometrical interpretation of the gradientflow equations in terms of the mirror symmetric compactification of type IIA.They correspond to a set of generalized Hitchin flow equations of a manifoldwith SU(3)xSU(3)structure which is fibered over the direction transverse to thedomain wall.Comment: 28 pages, LaTe
