In this paper a rotating two-fluid model for the propagation of internal waves is introduced. The model can be derived from a rotating-fluid problem by including gravity effects or from a nonrotating one by adding rotational forces in the dispersion balance. The physical regime of validation is discussed and mathematical properties of the new system, concerning well-posedness, conservation laws and existence of solitary-wave solutions, are analyzed.
