Bulk spinning motions (periods of 2-5 mins) among multi-threaded structures of a bunch of spicules are quite abundant near coronal holes where magnetic fields are predominantly open. It is believed that most of the spinning motion is associated with flux emergence from the Solar Photosphere and subsequent reconnection events. Here, we present a series of three-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations that successfully showcased the spinning motion among multiple stands without incorporating flux emergence. We also demonstrate that properties like length, lifetime, kinematics of numerous spicules are in remarkable agreement with observations. With the help of Time-distance diagrams, we detect periods of 2-3 mins for spinning simulated jets and the propagation of transverse oscillations (Kink modes) from both simulation and observation data. We finally demonstrate that most of the bulk rotational motions are due to the interaction of atmospheric swirls with spicules. Often these swirls are excited at the neighborhood of jets by the induced baroclinic instabilities from Spicules. |
