Abstract: We study the Bayesian inverse problem of inferring the permeability of a porous medium within the context of a moving boundary framework motivated by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), one of the most commonly used processes for manufacturing fiber-reinforced composite materials. During the injection of resin in RTM, our aim is to update our probabilistic knowledge of the per- meability of the material by inverting pressure measurements as well as observations of the resin moving domain. We consider both one-dimensional and two-dimensional forward models for RTM. Based on the analytical solution for the one-dimensional case, we prove existence of the sequence of posteriors that arise from a sequential Bayesian formulation within the infinite-dimensional framework. For the numerical characterisation of the Bayesian posteriors in the one-dimensional case, we investigate the application of a fully-Bayesian Sequential Monte Carlo method (SMC) for high-dimensional inverse problems. By means of SMC we construct a benchmark against which we compare performance of a novel regularizing ensemble Kalman algorithm (REnKA) that we propose to approximate the posteriors in a computationally efficient manner under practical scenarios. We investigate the robustness of the proposed REnKA with respect to tuneable param- eters and computational cost, and display advantages of REnKA compared with SMC with a small number of particles. We further apply REnKA to investigate, in both the one-dimensional and two-dimensional settings, practical aspects relevant to RTM which include the effect of pressure sensors configuration and the observational noise level in the uncertainty in the log-permeability quantified via the sequence of Bayesian posteriors.
