We investigate dynamics of overlapping vortices in the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, the nonlinear heat equation and in the equation with an intermediate Schr\"{o}dinger-diffusion dynamics. Because of formal similarity on a perturbative level we discuss also the nonlinear wave equation (Goldstone model). Special solutions are found like vortex helices, double-helices and braids, breather states and vortex mouths. A pair of vortices in the Goldstone model scatters by the right angle in the head-on collision. It is found that in a dissipative system there is a characteristic lenght scale above which vortices can be entangled but below which the entanglement is unstable.
