I think low-poly grid with wave would work really well with detailed animated textures like the one in http://makc.coverthesky.com/FlashFX/ffx.php?id=20
The papers are interesting but, from brief look, they seem to actually model waves, which is just too expensive for as3... maybe better luck with pixel bender?
