An integrated transport simulation code for helical plasmas, TASK3D, is developed and applied to LHD plasmas. Neoclassical transport in helical plasmas is evaluated by the neutral-network-based neoclassical transport database, DGN/LHD. Five anomalous transport models are included and the estimated temperature profiles with experiments are compared. We also take into account the differential equation for the radial electric field into TASK3D. The obtained electron and ion thermal diffusivities with the Alcator, Bohm, and gyro-Bohm models indicate anomalous thermal transport dominates for electrons, while neoclassical thermal transport plays a crucial role for ions. TASK/TX, solving surface-averaged multi-fluid equations, is also applied to the LHD plasma to examine the time evolution of and plasma rotation. The transition between the electron and ion roots, and the radial structure of has been demonstrated self-consistently.
