Abstract: The zero dissipation limit for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of compressible, isentropic gases in the case that the corresponding Euler equations have rarefaction wave solutions is investigated in this paper. In a paper (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 46, 1993, 621--665) by Z. P. Xin, the author constructed a sequence of solutions to one-dimensional Navier-Stokes isentropic equations converging to the rarefaction wave as the viscosity tends to zero.Furthermore, he obtained that the convergence rate is $\varepsilon^{\frac{1}{4}}|\ln\varepsilon|$. In this paper, Xin's convergence rate is improved to $\varepsilon^{\frac{1}{3}}|\ln\varepsilon|^2$ by different scaling arguments. The new scaling has various applications in related problems.
