Abstract: We consider three-dimensional inviscid irrotational flow in a two layer fluid under the effects of gravity and surface tension, where the upper fluid is bounded above by a rigid lid and the lower fluid is bounded below by a flat bottom. We use a spatial dynamics approach and formulate the steady Euler equations as an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system, where an unbounded spatial direction $x$ is considered as a time-like coordinate. In addition we consider wave motions that are periodic in another direction $z$. By analyzing the dispersion relation we detect several bifurcation scenarios, two of which we study further: a type of $00(mathrmis)(mathrmikapp{a}_0)$ resonance and a Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcation. The bifurcations are investigated by performing a center-manifold reduction, which yields a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. For this finite-dimensional system we establish the existence of periodic and homoclinic orbits, which correspond to, respectively, doubly periodic travelling waves and oblique travelling waves with a dark or bright solitary wave profile in the $x$-direction. The former are obtained using a variational Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the latter by first applying a normal form transformation and then studying the resulting canonical system of equations.
