• Abstract: Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) exhibit strongly nonlinear, multiscale wave dynamics that set the observed thermal field. High-fidelity simulations (DNS/LES) resolve these structures but remain computationally prohibitive, while low-order models such as the one-dimensional Koch-Kutz model capture circumferential wave motion yet lack the expressivity for high-frequency content. We use continuous data assimilation (nudging) to synchronize the Koch-Kutz solver with processed high-fidelity temperature data, introducing the prediction-observation mismatch as a relaxation source in the conserved energy equation; where observations are temporally sparse, interpolation supplies a target at every source update. As the nudging strength increases, the reduced model is progressively drawn onto the high-fidelity trajectory, and the forcing recorded along it provides an explicit, state-dependent estimate of the correction the model requires. We then train a Jacobian-regularized closure a priori on this recorded source. With the observation term removed, the corrected model advances autonomously, remains bounded, and recovers the temperature spectrum and the marginal statistics of the conserved variables relative to the baseline.
