How do I achieve this effect?

Hi there, I'm a huge stargate fan, and have managed to recreate the event horizon and the "kawoosh" as seen in the show. But I am struggling on probably the easiest part, the part when the gate shuts down, it disengages with some sort of ripples or something.

How can I achieve this effect in After Effects? I have tried with a noise/fractal noise effect and adjusted some parameters with keyframes, but it didn't look good.

I have used AE for years but I can't seem to figure this one out, I believe it must be easy to do. <.< Help appreciated!
