Abstract
A steady problem of trapped solitary waves in supercritical flows of a stratified fluid above an uneven bottom is considered. For gently sloping low-amplitude obstacles, a family of approximate two-parameter solutions is constructed, which correspond to internal solitary waves in the limit of a zero height of the obstacle. It is numerically demonstrated that the number of approximate solutions significantly depends on the bottom shape.
