Abstract
Aspects of the invention relate to resonator assemblies for use in non-uniform flow environments. The resonator assemblies include one or more features, such as a box or a scoop, for substantially equalizing the pressure on the resonator. In the box configuration, a box is attached on top of the resonator. The box has a top plate with a plurality of openings and at least one side wall extending from the entire periphery of the top plate. A plenum is defined between the box and the resonator plate. In the scoop configuration, a scoop is attached to the top of the resonator such that the scoop substantially overhangs the resonator. The scoop includes at least one side wall extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, except for one side without a side wall so as to provide an opening into a space defined between the scoop and the resonator.
