Back Often the best way to go. ^_^ The "KaWoosh" on Stargate was made by blowing compressed air into a large tank. Actually, I recommend the Stargate SG-1 DVDs for the reasonably useful "behind the scenes" specials they have showing the process of how they make the effects and match them to the live action. The motion control dots gave me a lot think about my own bad self.

Ah. "Crude but effective"!
It may help to know that they achieved that effect by keying over the actor with some glitter suspended in water.
If I were you, I would look for the simple, mechanical ways to do such effects instead of trying to do them all on the computer. You'll save yourself a lot of time, money and headaches.
