Computational Multi-Fluid Dynamics, CMFD, has come to play an important role in practical engineering and fundamental researches on multiphase flows. Since a multiphase flow is often comprised of interdependent elementary phenomena with length scales ranging from mesoscale to macroscale, a multipurpose CMFD should cover a wide range of scales by the combination of different numerical methods such as interface tracking, bubble tracking and averaging methods. This report reviews recent activities on CMFD for bubbly flows, in particular, an improvement of an interface tracking method based on volume tracking, two types of hybrid CMFD methods based on a combination of interface tracking and bubble tracking methods and that of interface tracking and averaging methods, and work in progress heading toward the hybrid combination of the three methods.
