Gas pressure Pg, 0 at the inner boundary (z0 = 1 kpc) of the flux tube for the wind background model Model W (full line) and the almost hydrostatic background Model H (dashed line) as a function of time. After 6 × 106 yr the last SN exploded within the SB and we keep the values of the boundary values fixed. Every ΔtSN = 4.8 × 105 yr and amount of 0.9 ESN = 0.9 × 1051 erg is added to increase Pg, 0. The CR pressure Pc, 0 increases by the usage of 0.1 ESN at every SN explosion. The lower panels exhibit the mass loss by the galactic wind, that is, 0 = A0ρ0u0 and the velocity at u0. We note that during the phase of repeating SN explosions, Model H generates higher mass loss rates because the winds expand into a more tenuous medium than Model W.
