Achieving stable and self-sustained rotating detonation under low-oxygen intake conditions is crucial for the design of rotating detonation afterburners. Through two-dimensional numerical simulations of non-premixed ethylene/air rotating detonation flow fields, this study investigated the influence of intake temperature on the critical lower limit of oxygen concentration required for rotating detonation initiation under fuel-lean conditions. The results showed that as the intake temperature of the afterburner increased from 875 K to
