Abstract: We consider two-dimensional inviscid irrotational flow in a two layer fluid under the effects of gravity and surface tension. The upper fluid is bounded above by a rigid lid, and the lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom. We use a spatial dynamics approach and formulate the steady Euler equations as a Hamiltonian system, where we consider the unbounded horizontal coordinate $x$ as a time-like coordinate. The linearization of the Hamiltonian system is studied, and bifurcation curves in the $$-plane are obtained, where $alpha$ and $$ are two parameters. The curves depend on two additional parameters $ho$ and $h$, where $ho$ is the ratio of the densities and $h$ is the ratio of the fluid depths. However, the bifurcation diagram is found to be qualitatively the same as for surface waves. In particular we find that a Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcation and a Hamiltonian real 1:1 resonance occur for certain values of $$. Of particular interest are solitary wave solutions of the Euler equations. Such solutions correspond to homoclinic solutions of the Hamiltonian system. We investigate the parameter regimes where the Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcation and the Hamiltonian real 1:1 resonance occur. In both these cases we perform a center manifold reduction of the Hamiltonian system and show that homoclinic solutions of the reduced system exist. In contrast to the case of surface waves we find parameter values $ho$ and $h$ for which the leading order nonlinear term in the reduced system vanishes. We make a detailed analysis of this phenomenon in the case of the real 1:1 resonance.
