Mean length of that portion of the ship's hull below the waterline.

effective length
Of a column, the distance between inflection points in the column when it bends.

Effective Length 

(of an antenna), a parameter of wire antennas that characterizes the antenna’s efficiency in transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves. The effective length for a receiving antenna is defined as the ratio of the electromotive force at the receiver input to the intensity of the electric field incident on the antenna; for a transmitting antenna, it is defined as the length in free space of a conductor with a uniform and inphase current distribution along its entire length that generates the same field intensity in the direction of maximum radiation as a real antenna under conditions of equal current amplitudes in the conductor and the real antenna. The effective antenna length is numerically identical in transmission and reception.

By depressing a string against the fingerboard, the effective length of the string can be changed, which in turn changes the frequency at which the string will vibrate when plucked.
The separation of polyphenols was performed in a fused silica capillary (Polymicro Technology, Phoenix, AZ, USA) with a total length of 75 cm (the effective length 50 cm) and i.
Therefore, the averaging technique resulting in a viscosity curve that is the same as that of fibers of uniform length equal to the effective length is deemed to be the most accurate.
