render out some particles as blobby objects or clouds and then use that to affect the backplate in your comp in combustion (Make sure you mask out your geometry first though so that it affects the alpha channel). Then use one of the channels from the particle render to distort the bakplate. That's basically how we did it on Thunderbirds for all of the effects from the ship's engines.
