A vortex is a form of rotating fluid flow: for example a whirlpool.

A vertex, on the other hand, is a point where lines meet. There can be two or more lines meeting at a vertex: there is no limit to how many. For example, the apex of a pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides, will be a vertex where n edges meet (for any integer n).

How many edges meet at each vortex?

A vortex is an area of circular fluid flow in fluid dynamics and no edges meet there. A vertex is a corner of a geometric shape and there can be two or more edges meeting at a vertex. There is no upper limit to the number of edges.
