We study spiral chaos in the classical Rössler and Arneodo – Coullet – Tresser systems. Special
attention is paid to the analysis of bifurcation curves that correspond to the appearance of
Shilnikov homoclinic loop of saddle-focus equilibrium states and, as a result, spiral chaos. To
visualize the results, we use numerical methods for constructing charts of the maximal Lyapunov
exponent and bifurcation diagrams obtained using the MatCont package.
