1st off, this probably isn't the best forum to post this question, maybe one of the structures forums ?

2nd off, i'd say these things are like "chalk and cheese", ie completely different. a vortex generator is precisely that ... something intended to upset the smooth flow on a surface, creating a vortex. i don't really know what your 2nd thing is, a "steel box that prevents the water overspill in the oil storage tank", but it sounds like something to prevent water (rain water ?, condensation ??)and oil mixing in a storage tank.

good luck

It should be in the Pump engineering forum.
