We study the Weyl formula for the asymptotic number of eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with Dirichlet boundary condition on a Riemannian manifold in the context of geometric flows. Assuming the eigenvalues to be the energies of some associated statistical system, we show that geometric flows are directly related with the direction of increasing entropy chosen. For a closed Riemannian manifold we obtain a volume preserving flow of geometry being equivalent to the increment of Gibbs entropy function derived from the spectrum of Laplace-Beltrami operator. Resemblance with Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism of gravity is also noted by considering open Riemannian manifolds, directly equating the geometric flow parameter and the direction of increasing entropy as time direction.
