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.
