No, that won't work, because the object will still accelerate
indefinitely, or decelerate until it stops completely, whereas
it should reach some terminal velocity.

It doesn't have to be complicated, just a force proportional
to the velocity of the object, with a coefficient depending
on the fluid and the object concerned.
