In this paper, we consider the one-dimensional (1D) compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations. We know that when the viscosity coefficient and Debye length are zero in the compressible bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations, we have the compressible Euler equations. Under the case that the compressible Euler equations have a rarefaction wave with one-side vacuum state, we can construct a sequence of the approximation solution to the one-dimensional bipolar Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations with well-prepared initial data, which converges to the above rarefaction wave with vacuum as the viscosity and the Debye length tend to zero. Moreover, we also obtain the uniform convergence rate. The results are proved by a scaling argument and elaborate energy estimate.
