In this paper we develop a performance modeling technique for analyzing the time varying performance of mobile ad hoc networks. Our approach is a novel hybrid of discrete event simulation and numerical method based queueing analysis. Network queues are modeled using fluid-flow based differential equation models which are solved using numerical methods, while node mobility is modeled using an adjacency matrix topology representation whose values are determined via discrete event simulation
