In this work, we introduce an iterative decoupled algorithm designed for addressing the quasi-static multiple-network poroelasticity problem. This problem pertains to the simultaneous modeling of fluid flow and deformations within an elastic porous medium permeated by multiple fluid networks, each with distinct characteristics. Our approach focuses on the total-pressure-based formulation, which treats the solid displacement, total pressure, and network pressures as primary unknowns. This formulation transforms the original problem into a combination of the generalized Stokes problem and the parabolic problem, offering certain advantages such as mitigating elastic locking effects and streamlining the discretization process. Notably, the algorithm ensures unconditional convergence to the solution of the total-pressure-based coupled algorithm. To validate the accuracy and efficiency of our method, we present numerical experiments. The robustness of the algorithm with respect to the physical parameters and the discretization parameters is carefully investigated.
