520 3 |a In this paper, we prove the existence of global-in-time weak solutions for an evolutionary PDE system modelling nonisothermal Landau-de Gennes nematic liquid crystal (LC) flows in three dimensions of space. In our model, the incompressible Navier-Stokes system for the macroscopic velocity $$\mathbf{u}$$ u is coupled to a nonlinear convective parabolic equation describing the evolution of the $$Q$$ Q -tensor $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q , namely a tensor-valued variable representing the normalized second-order moments of the probability distribution function of the LC molecules. The effects of the (absolute) temperature $$\vartheta $$ ϑ are prescribed in the form of an energy balance identity complemented with a global entropy production inequality. Compared to previous contributions, we can consider here the physically realistic singular configuration potential $$f$$ f introduced by Ball and Majumdar. This potential gives rise to severe mathematical difficulties since it introduces, in the $$Q$$ Q -tensor equation, a term that is at the same time singular in $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q and degenerate in $$\vartheta $$ ϑ . To treat it, a careful analysis of the properties of $$f$$ f , particularly of its blow-up rate, is carried out.
