Patent ID: 7080514

Claim:
A resonator assembly comprising: a turbine engine component having a plurality of opening therein; a resonator body including a plate having a plurality of openings therein and at least one side wall extending from and about the entire periphery of the plate, the at least one side wall being attached to the turbine engine component such that the resonator body encloses at least some of the plurality of openings in the turbine engine component, wherein a cavity is defined between the turbine engine component and the resonator body; and a scoop including a top plate and at least one side wall extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, the at least one side wall of the scoop attached to the resonator body such that the scoop is disposed above the resonator and such that the top plate substantially overhangs the plate; wherein the scoop includes one side without a side wall so as to provide an opening into a space defined between the scoop and the resonator plate; whereby the scoop captures a passing fluid so as to substantially equalize the pressure impinging on the resonator plate.
