I will prove the 2d Biot-Savart law for the vorticity being an unbounded measure $\mu$, i.e. such that $\mu(\mathbb{R}^2)=\infty$, and show how can one infer some useful information concerning Kaden's spirals using it. Vorticities being unbounded measures appear naturally in the engineering literature as self-similar approximations of 2d Euler flows, see for instance Kaden's or Prandtl's spirals. Mathematicians are interested in such objects since they seem to be related to the questions of well-posedness of Delort's solutions of the 2d vortex sheet problem for the Euler equation. My talk is based on a common paper with K.Oleszkiewicz, M. Preisner and M. Szumanska.
