contents In this paper, we derive an optimal $L^2$-norm error estimate of the multiphysics finite element method for the poroelasticity model by introducing an auxiliary problem. We show some numerical tests to verify the theoretical result and apply the multiphysics finite element method to simulate the brain edema which caused by abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in injured areas. And we investigate the effects of the key physical parameters on brain edema and observed that the permeability $K$ has the biggest influence on intracranial pressure and tissue deformation, Young's modulus $E$ and Poisson ratio $ν$ have little effect on the maximum value of intracranial pressure, but have great effect on the tissue deformation and the developing speed of brain edema.
