How can I plot diagrams for a particle model?

I am working on a particle model that models a swarm (which involves systems of differential equations) and would like to produce diagrams of this form:

(source: Yao-li Chuang, Maria R. D’Orsogna, Daniel Marthaler, Andrea L. Bertozzi, and Lincoln S. Chayes, State Transitions and the Continuum Limit for a 2D Interacting, Self-Propelled Particle System)
Is it possible to create diagrams like this?
Right now I have
V = sym('V', [N d]); % velocity (N particles, dimension = 2), V(i,j) is the jth velocity component of the ith particle
X = sym('X',[N d]); % the position defined same way as above
I am aiming to approximate the solution numerically and plot the graphs above.

If you the locations (x,y) and the respective vector components (u,v) you can very much plot the shown figures using quiver.

I tried quiver as mentioned by KSSV
N = 20;
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, N);
r = linspace(0, 1, N);
[R, T] = meshgrid(r, theta);
X1 = R .* cos(T)
X2 = R .* sin(T);
V1_radial = X1;
V2_radial = X2;
V1_rotational = -X2;
V2_rotational = X1;
figure;
subplot(1, 2, 1);
quiver(X1, X2, V1_radial, V2_radial, 'b');
axis equal;
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
title('Radial Velocity Field');
grid on;
subplot(1, 2, 2);
quiver(X1, X2, V1_rotational, V2_rotational, 'b');
axis equal;
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
title('Rotational Velocity Field');
grid on;
