We investigate the chaotic dynamics of a bubble chain rising in a polymeric fluid by the experimental temporary measurements, cognitive modelling and analytical analysis. The competition between the stress creation and the relaxation displays complex dynamical features and leads to chaos through a sequence of period doubling bifurcations.
