Cosmic rays are energetic particles and their transport plays an important role in the feedback processes in the interstellar medium. We are interested in the dynamical feedback. We adopt a hydrodynamic approach to cosmic ray propagation which comprises three-fluids: thermal plasma, cosmic ray and a self-excited Alfvèn wave. The thermal plasma is described by a density and a pressure, while the cosmic ray and Alfvèn wave are considered as massless fluid with significant pressures. We systematically seek steady state solutions of the system in flux-tube formulation. We present results in two categories: with and without cosmic ray diffusion, and two cases within each category: without wave damping and with effective wave damping. We will take Galactic wind as an example.
