In this article, we consider the zero dissipation limit of the
micropolar equations with temperature-dependent viscosity and
heat-conduction coefficient. If the given rarefaction wave to the
corresponding conservation systems connects to vacuum at one side, we
can construct a sequence of solutions to the micropolar equations which
converge to the given rarefaction wave with vacuum as the transport
coefficients tend to zero. And the uniform convergence rate can be
obtained. The key point in our analysis is how to control the
degeneracies of the density, the temperature and the
temperature-dependent viscosities at the vacuum region in the zero
dissipation limit process.
