First idea which pops into my mind is to model geometry and having an
animated weightmap on it to use in a shader.
Somehow it looks like a mix of turbulence and gradients along of layers of
twisted / curved geometry.
I would definitely try the geometry route first. Particles will likely
take longer to setup, provide less control, and render more slowly.
I would use geometry with animated displacement (warping), and map some 2d
animated noise pattern textures onto them. I would use multiple copies of
each piece of geometry with slightly different displacement to each copy in
order to give some thickness.
Then apply glow in the post.

I've been doing some research on how to achieve this effect with
particles. I was thinking sheets of particles with a bunch of turbulence
and other forces:

I'm still brainstorming, Any thoughts or approaches? Would you use
particles or animated Geo and a bunch of layered animated sequences?
Thanks in advance
