Increase in rising air bubble's terminal velocity

[QUOTE="JRMichler, post: 5888029"] Look up coefficient of drag for spheres. An air bubble is not really a sphere, but the the drag coefficient will be close enough for your purposes. You will see that the drag coefficient is a function of velocity and bubble size, so that pretty much forces you to use a numerical (computer simulation) solution. It should be a fun experiment. Easy to do, easy to measure velocity, easy to change bubble size, and a good chance to compare theoretical speed to measured speed. [/QUOTE]
