Node mobility models for MANETs are important to affect performance of their routing protocols. We have already proposed a new mobility model representing spatially and temporally biased change of node mobility and node density for MANETs. In order to evaluate routing protocols of MANETs for our new mobility model, this paper presents an efficient algorithm for enabling derivation of various mobility scenarios for our new mobility model if parameters called "variation rate" representing degree of biased variation of node mobility and node density are only inputted. Using the derived mobility scenarios in simulation experiments, performance of routing protocols for MANETs can be evaluated from the viewpoint of a new metric "variation rate".
